This thesis examines the thermal behaviour of a portable atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) greenhouse intended for growing plants in dry and semi-dry regions. A numerical model was developed to calculate temperatures and heat flows, along with a structural model in SolidWorks. The results showed that temperatures are mainly affected by greenhouse dimensions, solar radiation, and soil shading. Increasing ventilation reduced the maximum temperature by only \SI{0.37}{\kelvin}. The CAD model was used to define the final geometry and arrangement of the greenhouse’s main components.
