This study uses dynamic simulation to determine the energy expenditures and wall-material costs of agricultural greenhouses. Based on a building size of 200 m2, we perform a parametric analysis on the greenhouse cost by varying the wall material, the use of a single or double wall, three types of crops, four geographic locations (all in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico), and two temperature control strategies. The simulation tool we present makes it possible to determine the energy costs incurred by greenhouses operating for long periods of time under the weather conditions typical of any part of the country. The main objective of this work is to develop a calculation tool with which to better estimate the technical and economic feasibility of agricultural greenhouses, in order to reduce the enormous risk currently associated with investment decisions in this field
