Table 1.

Overview of the spectral properties (transmission, reflection and absorption) of the glasshouse structure

Material Transmission (%) Reflection (%) Absorption (%) Source
Floor 0* 40 60 de Visser et al. (2014)
Glass walls and roof 80 10 10 Kittas and Baille (1998)
Aluminium frames 0* 80 20 Hasan (2006)
Metal structure 0* 80 20
Plastic support and plastic surrounding the rockwool 0* 75 25 de Visser et al. (2014)

All parameters were independent of wavelength.

* No light transmission was assumed for the floor, plastic, aluminium and metal.

The properties of aluminium were used for the metal structure.
