본 연구에서는 큰느타리버섯 재배사의 환경조절을 최적화하고 시스템 설계에 대한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 진주인근에 위치한 샌드위치패널을 이용한 영구형 재배사 2동을 대상으로 2003년 11월부터 2005년 10월까지 재배사 내부에서 측정한 환경인자들을 중심으로 검토하였다. 실험지역의 외기온은 평년의 것과 대체로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 시스템 변경전의 경우, 동절기에는 전체적으로 설정온도보다 낮게 유지되었고, 또 최상부와 최하부의 최대온도 편차도 $5.1^{\circ}C$ 정도로 상층이 가장 높게 나타났다. 그러나 시스템의 변경 후의 경우, 난방시 대체로 설정온도 범위에서 조절되는 경향을 보였고, 공기정체나 온도층의 역전현상이 나타나지 않았다. 상대습도는 시스템 변경 후, $80{\sim}100%$ 정도의 범위로서 권장상대습도 범위에 있었다. 전체 재배기간동안 탄산가스 농도는 $400{\sim}3,300mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 정도의 범위에 있었다. 조도는 권장조도보다 전반적으로 낮게 유지되고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 산도는 대체로 일정하게 유지되었다. 수확량은 전체적으로 일정하지 않았고, 포기재배의 경우가 상대적으로 등외품이 적었으며, 증수 효과도 있었다. 전력소비량은 계절별로 일정한 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었고, 하절기보다 동절기에 전력소비량이 현저히 많은 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
