SOUTHEAST ASIA · MARKET NOTES
Greenhouses for Thailand
High humidity limits evaporative cooling; mechanical cooling and strong air exchange carry the design.
Site conditions to design against
| Summer | 32–40 °C |
| Winter | 18–30 °C |
| Humidity | high year-round |
| Light | very high |
| Wind | monsoon storms |
| Water | abundant but variable |
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.
What that changes in the design
| 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. |
| Wind load | Wind exposure sets the frame, the vent drives and the roof detailing; vent control needs a wind override. |
Market context
Urban retail and hospitality demand drives premium leafy and herb production under protection, with a strong interest in food-safety certification.
