Creating favorable climatic conditions for plant cultivation in growing facilities is directly linked to the stable operation of heating system, especially during winter months. Consequently, predicting thermal regime a space event an emergency system shutdown extremely important task agricultural sector. Research object: designed year-round growth. subject: patterns internal air temperature changes (both dimensional and dimensionless) shutdown. objective: predict facility following system. methods: theory regular regimes, according which field at all points cooled body (in this case, system) uniformly, exponential law; computer-based software calculations. results: industrial greenhouse will reach its critical value 8 ℃ approximately 1 hour 15 minutes after turned off. The duration decrease from initial conditionally minimally affected by total losses and, on average, increases 0.2 hours every 0.1 m²⋅K/W resistance enclosure. Thus, facility, as construction object with relatively low levels protection, should be equipped that meets higher reliability standards.

This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of incorporating inclined glazing with double low-emissivity (low-e) glazing, in glazed, green-certified office buildings Malaysia. The study was conducted an open workspace facing south and west. Comparisons were between measurements made on weekdays when cooling systems active weekends they not use. analysis considered two different zones based proximity glazed facade: adjacent zone central zone. thermal performance facade indoor conditions measured from July 25th August 30th. findings indicate that building successfully maintains air temperature within recommended range 23 °C–26 °C, as specified by Malaysia Standard. However, it noted velocity fell below required level for optimal circulation. Measuring globe showed a remarkable difference, experiencing 4.1 °C higher temperatures due radiant heat glazing. Additional research is suggested low-e hot–arid climates like Saudi Arabia.
