  ABSTRACT: Water consumption can be reduced by using a greenhouse for agriculture in desert areas. We analyzed the effect of control of ventilation, sprinkler water, and solar radiationshielding on changes of temperature and humidity in a greenhouse under various desert area conditions. We calculated the changes in temperature and humidity in a greenhouse for a whole day in four seasons, and the calculation results of water consumption with and without a greenhouse were compared. When ventilation, shielding, and sprinkler water were controlled under suitable conditions to grow orchids in a desert area, water consumption in July was only 7% of that without a greenhouse.
