**2.8 Greenhouse orientation**

General recommendation is to place the greenhouse in north-west orientation [2] so that the growing plants would be exposed to optimal total light and heating, which is of a particular consideration for winter season vegetable crops. When the greenhouse is in an east-west orientation, it means that the longer sides of the greenhouse should face north and south, with the shorter ends facing east and west. A greenhouse could be built on various terrains and at different slope grades. Also, climate regions may vary, like a desert, a Monsoon region, or a cold one, but in that case, appropriate parameters should be taken into account. Before making a final decision, a feasibility study should be done in two versions: a short one and an extensive one.
