Site selection is a key aspect for profitable greenhouse production, specifically for the climate conditions that influence the cost and quality of the horticultural commodities, but also for the distance to the markets. The local microclimate conditions influence the strategic election of the “greenhouse technological package” (structure and equipment) whose technical level will determine the future possibilities of climate control, influencing the yield and quality of the produce.
