Beacasue the green house is enclosed the heat is not able to escape out of the containment (glass or plastic depending on the application) becasue heat energy is at a different wavelength than light energy. Some heat does escape thru lack of proper sealing but that is only a factor in colder climate where additional supplemental heating may be required from conventional heaters. We use circulating fans to continually bring in fresh air from the outside. We supplement the house with CO2 when required. Fans that bring in the outside air also provide a supply of CO2 - for the plants - but to get quicker growth, supplemental CO2 is sometimes required.

Thanks Scoop

23.N.20 and 23.O.14 -- normal Greenslips--code G

23.N.21 and 23.O.15 - Instructor Greenslips - code H

23.N.22 and 23.O.16 - Out of Base GS - also code H

There is no such thing as an "Out of Base Instructor"--just instructor. In fact don't instructors get to choose the base they fly out of during their fly months, and that can change with each fly month? Therefore when you stated "OOBGS go to instructors first even when junior to us line swine" that was not technically correct. The instructor was awarded the GS in one earlier step of trip coverage before it ever even reached the Out of Base step.
