Greetings,
What's the best way to write the following sentence:
"On the other hand, the building is so tall, that the increase of solar radiation (hardly has)/(has hardly) any influence on the drying potential of the wall"

Or would you guys use another therm?
I'm writing a scientific article, so I have to be very careful with the grammar.

Thanks in advance!
 
Greetings. ("Hello" is much more natural.)

What's the best way to write the following sentence:
"On the other hand, the building is so tall (no comma required here) that the increase of solar radiation (hardly has)/(has hardly) any influence on the drying potential of the wall."

Or would you guys use another [STRIKE]therm[/STRIKE] term?

I would use "has hardly".

What influence does the solar radiation have on the drying potential of the wall?
It has ... hardly any influence ... on the drying potential of the wall.
 
As suggested by the post above, we tend to keep hardly any together.
