Southeast Asia
Humid heat, typhoon risk and urban retail demand for leafy greens and herbs.
In Southeast Asia the engineering enemy is humidity plus wind, not cold. Air exchange, screens and structural wind design carry the project; heating is rarely part of it.
Vietnam
Structural wind design and drainage are the first requirements; cooling is secondary to air exchange in high humidity.
Thailand
High humidity limits evaporative cooling; mechanical cooling and strong air exchange carry the design.
Indonesia
Low light in the wet season is the constraint: covering choice and supplementary light decisions are crop-driven.
