Aiming at the problems of uneven radiation distribution and difficult regulation in double-film multi-span greenhouses in the Gobi Desert, a spatiotemporal simulation model of the radiation environment based on the coupling of Rhino–Grasshopper and Radiance was constructed in this study. Parametric simulation and multi-objective optimization were adopted to significantly improve the solar radiation capture and distribution uniformity inside the greenhouse, providing a scientific basis for greenhouse design in the Gobi area. The results show that the model has high accuracy (R² > 0.98), and the radiation inside the greenhouse presents a distribution pattern of “higher in the northeast, lower in the southwest, higher in the upper layer and lower in the lower layer”. The optimal orientation is 1° west of south, and the optimal configuration is 8 m span, 5 m eave height, and 30° roof slope. This study can provide quantitative support for the structural design, planting layout and energy-saving regulation of double-film multi-span greenhouses in arid desert areas, and has important practical value for promoting the efficient and sustainable development of facility agriculture in the Gobi Desert.
