Greenhouse modeling

Dear TRNSYS users,
We have been asked to work on a TRNSYS model for a stand alone green house. There are a number of configurations possible but the critical aspects are that the greenhouse material might be glass, polycarbonate, or plastic film stretched over a metal frame. The materials could be in either single or double wall configurations. Sunlight will certainly be passing through the greenhouse. Has anyone done such modeling? If models do not exist, is there any relevant research on annual solar gains in greenhouses? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
David
