Dynamic energy model of a naturally ventilated duck house and comparative analysis of energy loads according to ventilation type

Development, Validation, and Application of Building Energy Simulation Models for Livestock Houses: A Systematic Review

“…Among the poultry-related BES models, the majority center on broiler houses. Only two models (Wang et al [57] and Zhao et al [58]) focus on laying hen houses, and the other two of them (Lee et al [42,59]) focus on duck houses. In the case of pig houses, most models simulate fattening pig houses, although there is also a notable presence of models focused on piglet houses.…”

“…Developed for generic livestock houses, the last two mentioned works are the only ones that encompass both mechanical and natural ventilation, while almost the totality of the others is focused on mechanically ventilated livestock houses. The sole exceptions are the works of Lee et al [59], Gonçalves et al [52], Nguyen-Ky and Pentillä [60], Omar et al [56], and Wang and Xue [48], which are focused on naturally ventilated livestock houses. This preponderant focus on mechanically ventilated livestock houses could be due to two reasons.…”

“…The last approach relies on calculating GoF indexes to provide an extent of the error, but without considering any established threshold. This last approach was adopted, for example, by Qi et al [44] and Lee et al [59]. The only exception to those three approaches is in the work of Jackson et al [70], who do not provide any numerical assessment of the error between the simulated and monitored θ air_i data.…”

“…Nguyen-Ky and Pentillä [60], for example, adopted the mass-pressure balance method directly embedded in IDA ICE to estimate the natural ventilation flow rate. Another possible approach to solve this problem is the co-simulation between BES and CFD models, as performed by Lee et al [59] for evaluating the wind pressure coefficients necessary to estimate the natural ventilation rate. This approach seems promising because can provide more accurate estimations about energy use and indoor environmental conditions by using the complementary information provided by BES and CFD models [95].…”
