| Large Apple Greenhouse - New York |
I expect the guys at Apple real estate have the heating system pretty well wrapped up, but a building of this type will come with plenty of heating, cooling and ventilation issues, if not properly managed.
For one, we had a green house in the back garden that looked a little like this (well OK,it wasn't quite as big, and we obviously weren't growing apples inside) and it was south facing....so in the morning, on a damp spring day you could see the condensation building up on the windows, slowly turning into thin streams of water, trickling down the window pains and onto to shelving.
OK, so who's really that interested in my parent's greenhouse? - just to prove a point though, buildings with so much glass and exposure to sunlight will suffer from the above without a well planned out heating and ventilation system.
Underfloor heating that is programmed to switch on a couple of hours before anyone sets foot in the building, and certainly before sunrise will help to alleviate the damp conditions and should eradicate all condensation on the glass surfaces once the glass has begun to absorb the infra red electromagnetic waves.
Once the doors fling open for the mad frenzy of Apple Enthusiasts - condensation will be no more.
