Who Should Take This Course?
This course will provide a strong understanding of greenhouse environment control to those already employed in the industry, or those enrolled in an academic program who want to learn about environmental controls in greenhouse systems.
The course is designed to be equivalent to an upper-level college course and requires an entry-level understanding of modern greenhouse production systems.
What You Will Learn
This course is specifically designed for individuals with a non-engineering background and entry-level understanding of controlled environment crop production in greenhouses. In this course, participants will:
- Review greenhouse crop production systems and management strategies
- Be able to describe why and how important environmental parameters are controlled using sensors and control systems
- Gain sufficient insight into the basics of energy and mass transfer to understand the key plant-environment interactions in greenhouses
- Learn the basics of sensors and control logic to optimize greenhouse conditions
- Become familiar with recent developments in greenhouse control strategies
