Greenhouses for Qatar

Short winter season: design for October to April production and accept a summer maintenance window, or invest in full closed cooling.

Site conditions to design against

Regional ranges for early planning. Final loads and set points come from your own site data, or from a design value we propose for review.

Humidity	Design on VPD, not temperature alone: dehumidification capacity and air exchange decide whether the crop sets fruit at night.
Cooling	Evaporative cooling is viable in dry air; in humid air it adds moisture and mechanical dehumidification takes over.
Water	Closed substrate systems with drain recovery carry both the agronomy and the business case.
Winter design	Heating, insulation and snow loads are a second design case. Phasing a spring-to-autumn house first keeps capital off the critical path.

Small protected area, high import dependence, and a policy emphasis on domestic production of fresh vegetables in the cooler months.
