It seems Response Surface Methodology RSM cant handle this since the conditions are not meant to be static but dynamic in the green house. Want to know the effects of this conditions on the crop yield.
I'm working on about five first generation software using the Microsoft Excel platform primarily for Kenya and the six regional architectures (Warm humid, hot dry, lakeland, savannah, uplands and upper highlands), but can be improvised for other regions and disciplines. Data loggers are used to collection data. 1. Temperature Template: Establishes a baseline climate for the area you are doing research using the meteorological data available. 2. Temperature Factor: Uses the altitude of the region to establish climatic data for the other software. 3. Ebenergy: Energy use and thermal comfort analysis. 4. Ebstats: Collection, processing, preparation and drawing results of data. 5. Ebclima: Synthesis, interpretation of findings, drawing conclusions and recommendations. Eventually these 1st gens would translate into 2nd gen (Using Visual Basic/Java) and 3rd Gen (Mobile apps).
If I understand well your problem, your 3 factors are not constant during an experiment. Then, if you can describe the profiles of temperature, humidity and vapor pressure during an experiment by few values, these values can be the factors of you DOE.
In such a case, you'll can use your model to different climates.
Hope this can help you.
Thanks for the contributions Dr. Yusuf Ebrahim . I will try what you have suggested @ Dr. Pierre Chagnon. I will consider both the upper and lower limits for each of the factors and set some values within them and use in the DOE

Dear Obafemi,
Sallaams from Kenya. It has been sometime since my last answer to this issue. You can get some information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_surface_methodology. The software mentioned in my answer are all MS Excel based, and God willing, in the process of migration to other platforms (Item 16.5 - Software architecture migration: Kenya context (p.26) (Visit: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333564914). You may also wish to download book posters/fliers for "Preparation for academic research and theses from undergraduate to postgraduate degree levels" (2018) (Visit: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328496620); and "Micro-temperature change and urban built form" (2019) (Visit: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/33336922; and also https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333369471). My dance with software continues. Ebrahim
