Beschrijving

Natural ventilation of animal houses clearly has advantages as for instance its low power consumption. However its application is often limited due to the lack of a reliable measuring and control system of the ventilation rate and so of emissions, as required for legislation. Although a lot of models exist to determine natural ventilation rates in buildings, it is still a challenge to know the ventilation rate accurately with few measurements. The objective of this work was to develop a model for the prediction of the natural ventilation rate in a pig house with as few measuring points as possible. Neural networks were used to investigate the reliability and accuracy of using as limited input as possible, taken from data collected from measurements with sonic anemometers in a real scale test building under outside weather conditions.
