2. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

   Although single layer polycarbonate sheeting is more flexible than polycarbonate in twinwall configuration, it still retains significant advantages over alternative materials, including glass. A typical 6mm sheet has a density of 0.72 g/cm^2 [ 6 ] and a thermal insulation R value of 0.3 m^2°C/W, while allowing 80% of visible light pass through ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   Polycarbonate sheeting in a greenhouse. The second largest consumer of polycarbonates is the construction industry, e.g. for domelights, flat or curved glazing, roofing sheets and sound walls. Polycarbonates are used to create materials used in buildings that must be durable but light.

4. Greenhouse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse

   The terms greenhouse, glasshouse, and hothouse are often used interchangeably to refer to buildings used for cultivating plants. The specific term used depends on the material and heating system used in the building. Nowadays, greenhouses are more commonly constructed with a variety of materials, such as wood and polyethylene plastic. [2]

5. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

   Thermal insulation is integral to greenhouse design, enabling controlled environments for plant growth and energy efficiency. Common insulation techniques include the use of double-layer films and multi-wall polycarbonate panels, which trap air between layers to reduce heat transfer while maintaining sufficient light transmission for ...

7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   Large glass panels, French doors, or sliding glass doors between the building and attached sunspace will maintain an open feeling without the heat loss associated with an open space. A sunspace with a masonry thermal wall will need approximately 0.3 ft 2 of thermal mass wall surface per ft 2 of floor area being heated (0.3 m 2 per m 2 of floor ...
