What factors affect transpiration rate?

Light intensity - the brighter the light, the greater the transpiration
Temperature - the greater the temperature, the greater the transpiration, until it hits the optimum
Air flow - the better air flow, the greater the transpiration
Humidity - the drier the leaf, the faster transpiration happens
