In comparison with housing, heating of greenhouses require more energy because insulation similar to residential or industrial buildings is for horticultural and biological reasons not possible. For the production of nutrients and growth during photosynthesis, plants need light. The greenhouse building cannot be designed highly insulated but has to be light translucent. This results in a high heat loss when compared with other buildings. Following physical laws, heat rises up in a greenhouse, away from the plants, up towards the roof or underneath an energy shielding, and there it creates a heat pad. This results in high transmission heat losses to the outside and in high energy costs.
