Ventilation is important in maintaining a suitable environment for animals and plants in agricultural buildings. In the last few decades, agricultural buildings have become ever larger to accommodate high productivity and automation. Accordingly, systematic studies of ventilation are increasingly necessary to maintain a suitable, and stable, internal climate. However, in spite of the current trend toward large-sized buildings for agricultural production, little information is available on the ventilation design of agricultural buildings. Up until now, the biggest reason for this lack of information has been the difficulty of studying airflow, which is both invisible and ...
