Now that spring has arrived, you are probably working outside a lot. This is an ideal moment to take a critical look at the indoor climate of your stable, barn or storage shed. With the cattle outside and the storage shed empty, this is the perfect time to improve your indoor climate. A good indoor climate yields more than you think.
Your indoor climate depends on various factors. Think of temperature, humidity and lighting. You will quickly notice whether you have a good indoor climate or not. But did you know that the difference between a good and optimal indoor climate is also clearly noticeable, for humans and animals? Investing in your indoor climate will quickly pay for itself, including through higher yields from your livestock and savings on energy costs.
Clean Air
Fresh air is essential for your indoor climate. Damp, polluted air can irritate the respiratory tract of livestock. As a result, animals cannot properly keep viruses, fungi and dirt out of their lungs. Good ventilation can significantly improve your indoor climate. Clean, fresh air helps to keep bacterial growth to a minimum. This also has a positive effect in a storage warehouse.
clear light
Not only people, but also animals function better in daylight than in artificial light. For example, according to various studies, cows and goats produce more milk in daylight. It has also been proven that daylight has a positive effect on the resistance of various types of livestock. Daylight also has a positive effect on people. People who work in daylight produce fewer stress hormones on average than people who work in artificial light. Daylight is not always necessary for an optimal indoor climate. For example, the storage of certain crops works better in a dark environment.
Combine air and light on your roof
Anyone who wants to invest in a good indoor climate would be wise to consider a ventilation ridge. A ventilation ridge has an extracting effect; polluted air is replaced by fresh outside air. In places where the wind does not blow directly against your building, a negative pressure is created compared to the surroundings. This causes the air from inside to be drawn to these points. This happens in particular in the ridge. That is why ventilation in the ridge is a smart solution. Another advantage of ventilation in the ridge is that the opening is located away from the cattle or people. This dampens high air speeds inside, and you have minimal problems with draughts inside.
A ventilation ridge can be perfectly combined with a single or double skylight. A ventilation ridge is always custom-made and can be assembled with various types of robust skylights.
Roofing and indoor climate
Your roofing also affects your indoor climate. For example, corrugated sheets have a breathable character. Sandwich panels are a good option if you want to keep your building fresh in the summer and warm in the winter. Both options have advantages and disadvantages.
