Description of the measure
Improve the cooling system to reduce the barn temperature 3°C under the outside temperature
Comments on sustainability
To reduce the barn temperature under the outside temperature, cooling systems have to be implemented. Possible measures e.g.: air intake from the north side/from ground level, air intake along an irrigated brick wall, high pressure system with nebulisation. Cool barn temperatures reduce the ammonia emissions. Additional energy / water costs and xternal advice are necessary.
