Özet

In this study, structural and heating costs of modern greenhouses in different sizes were determined by using "MS Excel Package Program". Three kinds of roof types such as gable, arc and gothic style, covered with plastic or glass were selected and three kinds of fuel types such as coal, fuel-oil and natural gas were used for water heating system commonly used in modern greenhouses for Mediterranean region. Users can determine structural and heating costs defining greenhouse sizes, heating time and fuel type by the package program. This developed program is easy to use, user friendly and has an interface used by everyone and it calculates the total costs according to the user preferences.
