  Abstract

To ensure productivity in livestock facilities, maintaining comfortable indoor environment is necessary as livestock excrement generate many pollutants and livestock are sensitive to indoor temperature. In most livestock facilities, the ventilation system accounts for a large proportion of the indoor environment maintenance compared to general buildings as the temperature and air quality are maintained by only introducing external air using a ventilation fan without a separate heat source for the mid-term and cooling seasons. Therefore, this study conducted a study on deriving an optimal control strategy for ventilation fans by developing an energy model for livestock using EnergyPlus, a dynamic energy simulation tool. As a result, when applying the optimal control derived using standard meteorological data, it maintained a sufficient indoor temperature and showed high energy reduction potential compared to the existing control strategy.
