CHALLENGES OF NATURALLY VENTILATING COW BARNS
Cover the basic design concepts required for effective natural ventilation and examine why some are struggling to keep cows cool in these facilities during the summer. Before you think of designing your next modernization or building project, gather your team to take in this webinar that will help you avoid costly mistakes that limit air intake and ultimately profit potential. We’ll cover air quality, movement and cooling. We’ll also provide financial returns for different ventilation options. This series will be a great one for you and your team to watch together.
