Since a long time protected culture is a well-known technology and the increasing of biological knowledge and the new technologies development resulted in a great emphasis on climatic control. Nowadays there are several equipments in the market able to control the temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, solar radiation and artificial illumination as well. Difficulties are related to the manipulation of all these elements in an adequate way to reach the optimum climate conditions with a minimum resource and input expenses. In this project it was realized an climatic manager algorithm software evaluation using Fuzzy logic and climate models based on "thermal loading calculation", psicrometrics, managing the most common equipment available in the market with a minimum human intervention in the process. This Project has been made in two distinct structures and sorted technological levels.

Keywords : Greenhouses; Protected Environment; Fuzzy Logic.
