The hatchery’s electrical rooms had to keep operating on extreme heat days and if the air conditioning failed.
We simulated room temperatures for a 40 °C outdoor day, compared natural ventilation, louvres and air conditioning, and calculated the time available before exceeding the allowable temperature after an AC failure. Results were delivered as 24-hour curves and comparison videos.
