Greenhouse and forced greenhouse climate control system and method

1. A greenhouse, comprising:

a growing section;

a climate control system comprising a substantially enclosed end gable adjacent to and outside said growing section, said end gable comprising one or more vents and one or more louvers selectively moveable to cooperate with said one or more vents to control air flow through said one or more vents;

wherein said climate control system is arranged to control the environment within said growing section by flowing ambient air from outside said greenhouse into said climate control system and into said growing section, re-circulating air from said growing section back into said climate control system and into said growing section, and a combination thereof, said ambient air, re-circulating air, or combination thereof, flowing through said climate control section and into said growing section to control the climate within said growing section.

2. The greenhouse of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of tubes within said growing section, air entering said growing section from said climate control system passing into said tubes with said tubes distributing air throughout said growing section.

3. The greenhouse of claim 1 , wherein said climate control system further comprises fans arranged to flow air into said tubes.

4. The greenhouse of claim 1 , wherein said one or more vents comprise a first vent to the ambient around said greenhouse, said ambient air entering said climate control system through said first vent.

5. The greenhouse of claim 4 , wherein said one or more louvers comprise a first louver arranged to cooperate with said first vent, said first louver movable to fully block said first vent, to fully open to allow air passage through said first vent, or to partially block said first vent.

6. The greenhouse of claim 4 , further comprising a cooling mechanism operable to cool at least some of the ambient air passing through the first vent.

7. The greenhouse of claim 1 , wherein said one or more vents comprise a second vent, said second vent allowing air from said growing section to pass into said climate control system for re-circulating back to said growing section.

8. The greenhouse of claim 7 , wherein said one or more louvers comprise a second louver arranged to cooperate with said second vent, said second louver operable to fully block said second vent, to fully open to allow air passage through said second vent, or to partially block said second vent.

9. The greenhouse of claim 5 , further comprising a partition between said growing section and said climate control system, wherein said partition comprises a second vent, said second vent allowing air from said growing section to pass into said climate control system for re-circulating back to said growing section, wherein said first louver fully blocks air from said second vent when fully open, allows air from said second vent to pass when closed, and partially blocks air from said second vent when partially open.

10. The greenhouse of claim 1 , wherein said growing section further comprising a roof vent.

11. The greenhouse of claim 1 , wherein said climate control system further comprises a heater for heating the air flowing into said growing section.

12. The greenhouse of claim 1 , further comprising a computer based controller for controlling said climate control system.

13. The greenhouse of claim 1 , further comprising a gas feed system for feeding gasses into said growth section.

14. The greenhouse of claim 1 , further comprising a heat exchanger to heat or cool air flowing into said growing section.

15. The greenhouse of claim 14 , wherein water is flowed through said heat exchanger to cool air flowing in said growing section, said water being warmed while cooling said air.

16. The greenhouse of claim 15 , wherein said warmed water is stored for use in said heat exchanger to heat air flowing into said growing section.

17. A greenhouse, comprising:

a substantially enclosed growing section; and

a substantially enclosed end gable adjacent to and outside said growing section, said end gable comprising one or more vents and one or more louvers selectively moveable to cooperate with said one or more vents to control air flow through said one or more vents, said end gable arranged to flow cool air into said growing section to reduce the temperature therein, to flow warm air into said growing section to increase the temperature therein, and to re-circulate air within said growing section when the temperature therein is at the desired level, said temperature reducing air, temperature increasing air, and re-circulating air passing through said end gable and into said substantially enclosed growing section to control the temperature therein.

18. The greenhouse of claim 17 , said end gable receiving said cool air from the ambient air outside said greenhouse and end gable.

19. The greenhouse of claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of tubes within said growing section, air entering said growing section from said end gable passing into said tubes with said tubes distributing air throughout said growing section.

20. The greenhouse of claim 17 , further comprises fans arranged to flow air from said end gable into said tubes.

21. The greenhouse of claim 17 , wherein said one or more vents comprise a first vent in said end gable, wherein ambient air enters said end gable through said first vent.

22. The greenhouse of claim 21 , wherein said one or more louvers comprise a first louver arranged to cooperate with said first vent, said first louver movable to fully block said first vent, to fully open to allow ambient air passage through said first vent, or to partially block said first vent.

23. The greenhouse of claim 17 , further comprising a cooling mechanism operable to cool at least some of the ambient air passing through the first vent.

24. The greenhouse of claim 17 , wherein said one or more vents comprise a second vent between said growing section and said end gable, said second vent allowing air from said growing section to pass into said end gable for re-circulating back to said growing section.

25. The greenhouse of claim 24 , wherein said one or more louvers comprise a second louver arranged to cooperate with said second vent, said second louver operable to fully block said second vent, to fully open to allow air passage through said second vent, or to partially block said second vent.

26. The greenhouse of claim 23 , further comprising a second vent, said second vent allowing air from said growing section to pass into said end gable for re-circulating back to said growing section, said first louver blocking air from said second vent when fully open, allowing air from said second vent to pass when closed, and partially blocking air from said second vent when partially open.

27. The greenhouse of claim 17 , further comprising a heater for heating the air flowing into said growing section.

28. The greenhouse of claim 17 , further comprising a computer based controller for controlling said climate control system.

29. A greenhouse, comprising:

a growing section;

a climate control system comprising a substantially enclosed end portion adjacent to and outside said growing section, said end portion comprising one or more vents and one or more mechanisms selectively moveable to cooperate with said one or more vents to control air flow through said one or more vents;

wherein said climate control system is arranged to control the environment within said growing section by flowing ambient air from outside said greenhouse into said climate control system and into said growing section, re-circulating air from said growing section back into said climate control system and into said growing section, and a combination thereof, said ambient air, re-circulating air, or combination thereof, flowing through said climate control section and into said growing section to control the climate within said growing section.
