Architectural Form Advantages.
For maximum transmission of radiant energy, the ideal archi-
tectural form for a greenhouse is the hemispherical dome. The
angle of incidence and the orientation are perfect at all hours
of the day and at all season of the year.
A greenhouse with sidewalls at an angle of 60 to 70 degrees
from the horizontal and a roof with a slope of 30 degrees has
been found to be more efficient for the transmission of radiant
energy than a structure with the same roof slope but with
vertical sidewalls (Whittle and Lawrence, 1959).
During midwinter when the sun is relatively low above the
horizon, the slanted sidewalls transmit more radiant energy
than the vertical sidewalls.
