Abstract: To satisfy the nighttime insulation needs of prefabricated greenhouses and to develop novel insulation materials, the use of machine learning for evaluating greenhouse environments was investigated and the insulation efficacy of two new types of blankets was compared, one with camel hair and the other with rubber-plastic board as the core material. The findings indicated that both the Gaussian process regression and neural network algorithm held promise for predicting greenhouse temperatures. Compared to the camel hair blanket, the rubber-plastic insulation blanket increased the average night-time inner film surface temperature by 0.8 ℃ and the average minimum night-time temperature by 0.6 ℃. For the rubber-plastic board material, it was necessary to implement measures to mitigate wind resistance in greenhouses to guarantee the insulation’s effectiveness.

Key words: insulation blanket, film inner surface temperature, machine learning, Gaussian regression process, neural network algorithm
