I am now building a greenhouse for my plants, mostly tropical carnivorous plants, nepenthes.  I am sure a passion flower may creep in and some orchids.  Who nows what else may find its way in.

The basic greenhouse is 12' X 12'  (~4m X 4m) and 71/2' (~2.5m) on the sides.  The center section is about 9' up with a 2' clear story on top.  I mounted the exhaust fan in the cupola.  Yes I did spring for a copper roof on the cupola.  The finial has a gold guilded point at the top.

Here are a few pictures of the building in progress.

(sorry for the slow download, but I could not seem to get them smaller without losing the picture quality)

Here is the front of the building, facing North.         This is the front a little further away.                         This is a shot of the back facing due South.

I need information on these items:  mist/fog systems, shading considerations, evaporative cooling pads.  Please help.
