ABSTRACT
The exibility of the receding horizon optimal control is illustrated in this chapter, where the methodology is applied to a novel advanced greenhouse design, called the solar greenhouse. In this greenhouse, surplus heat collected during the summer is stored in an aquifer, using a heat exchanger, and retrieved in the winter using a heat pump. In addition, ventilation, when it is needed, is done with heat recovery. Moreover, materials with better heat insulation properties are used for the cover.
