Summary

The present study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of summer and winter natural ventilation air exchange on psychrometric results in closed and open-type poultry houses and the possibility of increasing its efficiency. This research was conducted in three poultry houses located at different altitude that had different dimensions, construction and insulation levels. Inside and outside air temperature and relative humidity measured by sensors and averages were calculated for 2 hourly periods for 24 hours in summer and winter. The data obtained from the experiments indicated a significant relationship between the efficiency of ventilation and structural dimensions.
