Thermal insulation for closed livestock buildings - Thermal insulation and ventilation - Principles for planning and design for closed ventilated livestock buildings
Wärmeschutz geschlossener Ställe - Wärmedämmung und Lüftung - Planungs- und Berechnungsgrundlagen für geschlossene zwangsbelüftete Ställe
Overview
This standard applies to the planning of closed, thermally insulated cattle, pig, poultry and horse stables in which the air exchange is preferably carried out by fans (forced ventilation). Based on the water vapor, carbon dioxide and heat flow balance, the standard contains specifications for calculating the air mass flow in winter and summer and the thermal insulation of the stable components. It provides instructions for the dimensioning of the moisture protection of the room-enclosing components. This standard does not apply to stables whose structural thermal insulation is so low that no significant influence on the stable air temperature can be achieved. The specific design, adjustment and handling of ventilation or heating systems are not covered by this standard.
