Abstract: Under different weather (sunny and cloudy) and different window-opening proportions conditions, the photosynthetically active radiation intensity (PAR)was tested inside and outside of two greenhouses (A is a Venlo greenhouse with a open-roof, B is a Venlo greenhouse with a roof vent window) in order to study the lighting performance. The result showed that under sunny and cloudy conditions, average lighting transparent rate of the open-roof greenhouse were 53.7% and 52.1%, while those significantly higher than the greenhouse B under the same conditions. Whether sunny or cloudy conditions, the lighting transparent rate of the open-roof Venlo greenhouse increased as proportions of window (roof) increased. And there was no significant change in the greenhouse B. It showed that the open-roof Venlo greenhouse had higher lighting transparent rate, while opened window (roof) reduced solar radiation blocking. Under sunny and cloudy conditions, the mean value of PAR distribution uniformity coefficient (PDUC) of the open-roof Venlo greenhouse were 0.893 and 0.916, which were lower than the value of the greenhouse B under the same conditions. As proportions of window (roof) increased, the PDUC of the open-roof Venlo greenhouse reduced, of which variable amplitude on a sunny day was larger than cloudy. At same time, the PDUC of the greenhouse B had no obvious change. This showed that opened window of the open-roof Venlo greenhouse had blocked the direct solar radiation near the gutter, which lead to a lower PDUC of the open-roof Venlo greenhouse.
