Abstract
This work presents a virtual lab for teaching greenhouse climatic control. The objective of this kind of tools is to help the students using consolidated research works in a straightforward way. Particularly, the tool developed in this article consists on a structured graphic screen allowing the access to a full greenhouse climate model with a collection of specific controllers, in such a way that the students can put into practice the knowledge acquired in the theoretical lessons without space-temporal constraints.
