How to read this result
Based on: House length 120 m · House width 15 m · Target light level 30 lux · Lamp output 1100 lm · Lamp power 10 W · Light hours per day 18 h
Important: This is a preliminary planning result derived from the values you entered, intended for early project scoping and RFQ preparation — not for final engineering or husbandry design.
- Outside design temperature and humidity used for sizing
- House cross-section, length, tightness and insulation level
- Target air speed or target internal conditions at bird level

What does this poultry calculator estimate?
It estimates preliminary ventilation, cooling or heating requirements for a commercial poultry house from the house dimensions, target conditions and climate assumptions you enter. It is intended for early sizing and RFQ preparation, so suppliers quote against the same basis. Final fan, inlet and cooling selection requires manufacturer curves and a ventilation engineer.
What can change the result?
- Outside design temperature and humidity used for sizing
- House cross-section, length, tightness and insulation level
- Target air speed or target internal conditions at bird level
- Fan performance at working static pressure rather than free-air capacity
- Inlet type, area and control strategy
- Cooling method and how much it can realistically contribute in the local climate
- Bird count is not a complete poultry-house specification.
- Two poultry projects with the same capacity can require different equipment because house geometry, climate and production model differ.
