Facades, roofs, and greenhouses that may capable of self-cooling are provided. For example, a fa?ade for a greenhouse may include an internal glass wall and an external glass wall in a parallel plane to the internal glass wall and separated from the internal glass wall by a first distance. The distance may be configured to permit passage of a heat transfer liquid. The internal glass wall can include a first face, facing the external glass wall. The first face of the internal glass wall can include a reflective surface configured to reflect solar radiation into the heat transfer liquid when in operation.

A guard assembly for use on a guy-wire of the type having an end terminating in a loop, or other style, comprises an elongated tubular member of a relatively rigid plastic having a hollow interior throughout its length. The tubular member has an included single hollow tubular member, accessible though a slot, extending longitudinally thereof between opposite ends to allow the tubular member to be in surrounding relationship by being moved laterally thereover with the guy-wire hollow interior through the split. The guard can be snapped onto the wire using pressure and secured into place with a u-bolt or similar device.

The present disclosure is directed to a new and improved system and method for on-demand insulation, which may be deployed layers of a double-layered window. An on-demand thermal insulator system has a body that is configured to transition between a collapsed form non-deployed state and a deployed state. The body while in the non-deployed state allows a transfer of thermal energy through a defined boundary. The body while in the deployed state in resisting the transfer of thermal energy resists transfer through the defined boundary. In particular configurations, the body has a layer disposed between two material that receives fluid when transitioning from the non-deployed state to the deployed state.

An agricultural cover is formed from a spunbond material. The non-woven fabric may be used with agricultural products.

A laminated film having a heat-ray reflection layer and a weather-resistant layer on at least one surface of the heat-ray reflection layer, in which the heat-ray reflection layer has a multilayer laminated structure in which 20 or more layers of a first layer mainly composed of a resin and a second layer mainly composed of a resin are alternately laminated, the first layer contains polyethylene naphthalate, a protective layer with a thickness of 10 m or less and mainly composed of the resin of the first layer is provided on at least one surface of the multilayer laminated structure, the weather-resistant layer with a thickness of 3-15 m is composed of a resin composition containing 8-45 mass % of an ultraviolet absorber having a triazine skeleton, and a secondary reflection band of the laminated film is 400-700 nm, and a spectral transmittance in the secondary reflection band is 60% or more.

A shading device for a greenhouse includes a shading element and at least one lighting element, wherein the shading element comprises an outer side and an inner side. The shading element is formed from interwoven electrically conductive first thread elements and electrically insulating second thread elements. The first and/or second thread elements each may be adapted for reflecting an ambient light. The lighting element(s) may be arranged at the inner side of the shading element and connected with the first thread elements, and the lighting element(s) may be driven by an electrical current, conducted by the first thread elements, resulting in the emission of an artificial light, which may illuminate a plant growing in the greenhouse.

Top furling automated retractable greenhouse cover is a retractable cover for a greenhouse that is mounted on top of the greenhouse. Top furling automated retractable greenhouse cover comprises: a spine clamp, a left furling cover assembly, a right furling cover assembly, a hinge pin assembly, and an electrical control box. Left and right furling assemblies each comprise a curtain or cover, a furling rod, a furling motor, and a support arm. Electrical control box sends electronic signals to cause left and right covers or curtains to furl above the greenhouse when retracted and to unfurl down to the ground when extended to cover the greenhouse. The top-mounted design allows efficient use of gravity to apply tension to the furled rolls.
