N2  - This research aims to study the effect of using the cooling and ventilation system on the production and quality of lettuce 
and mint crops in autumn and winter season. Two poly-greenhouse models were constructed at the Agricultural Engineering 
Research Institute (AEnRI), Al-Giza Governorate, Egypt (Latitude of 30.02? and longitude of 31.13?( . One of them was 
equipped with photovoltaic (PV) system to feed electrical load of greenhouse as cooling and ventilation control system 
(treatment) to control, the maximum and minimum temperature to control the interior climate and the other was a traditional 
greenhouse (control). The plants were planted in a greenhouse under a hydroponic system. Results of the experimental work 
shows that the specific approach of cooling and mechanical ventilation for lettuce and mint crop production enhances the rate 
of growth and increasing the fresh lettuce and mint yield by 52.88% and 49.91%, respectively comparing with control greenhouse
