New page

The '''Temperature''' inside a future [[settlement]] on [[Mars]] must be much higher than the [[environmental conditions|natural]] Martian surface temperature. This requires a great amount of [[energy]] for heating. Since energy is a rare resource on Mars, the temperature in the artificial [[habitat]] must be optimized.

 ==Living quarters==
-(to be completed)
+Humans are generally comfortable between 20 and 25C.  Circulations areas may be keep cooler of hotter than residential areas, for variety and due to different thermal loading.  General ventilation may be used to remove heat gain from well insulated habitats, or to add energy to habitats without insulation.
 ==Greenhouses==
-(to be completed)
+Greenhouses are generally kept between 22 and 28°C.  Relative humidity will be maintained from 40 to 60%.  Plants generate large amounts of humidity through evapo-transpiration.  This humidity needs to be removed from the air and returned to the plants as water in their soil or substrate, possible after treatment.  Humidity control is essential for plant health, to prevent mildew and infections.
 ==Industrial complexes==
-(to be completed)
+Industrial areas are maintained at the same temperatures a living quarters.  High temperature areas such as glass and iron foundries and smelters may be fed cold air at temperatures between 5°C and 10°C but will be heated by the process.  Radiant heat may require spot cooling.
