| heal.abstract |
The effects of outside climatic conditions on the thermal microenvironment inside a building for growing pigs (50 kg mean) were studied using a 30-year period set of hourly real weather data from the Athenian region. Transient computer simulation allowed hourly prediction of air temperature and relative humidity inside the swine unit for each year. Under Greek summer conditions (May to September) pigs are subjected to heat stress of considerable duration and intensity due to temperature, while few problems due to relative humidity occur. Furthermore, inside THI values exceeded 85 only a few hours, therefore THI cannot effectively be used as a heat-stress index. |
