While not fully predictive. the model is considered to be accurate enough for design purposes. With the model at hand. the suitability of various combinations of greenhouse plastic and honeycomb designs can be assessed. It should be noted that the model predicts a heat transfer coefficient of 4.25 W m 2 K 1 when there is no honeycomb present and the regular greenhouse plastic is used and 3.65 W m 2 K 1 when there is no honeycomb present and the high-emissivity greenhouse plastic is used. This means the reduction in the overall heat transfer coefficient afforded by adding the present design of honeycomb ranges up to 39% reductions.
