EPS INSULATION APPLICATIONS

EPS USE IN POULTRY FARMS

Animals generate more heat and water vapour as compared to human beings. In particular, heat and water vapour generated by poultry are so much.

This heat energy spread from the birds to the poultry house easily spreads through the outer air if the house is not insulated. And the animals have to eat mush more feed in order to be able to recover the necessary energy. However, if the house is insulated, the heat remains inside and the amount of energy (heat) required by chicken reduces.

Thus, a smaller amount of feed will be sufficient and great economy is achieved in feed costs. Further, the high rate of water vapour generated by poultry increases the relative humidity in the house. This humid air turns from vapour to water when it hits the uninsulated sub-ceiling or the internal surface of the outer wall. If heat insulation is provided, there will no concentration. Therefore, it is mandatory to insulate the poultry houses very well.

As EPS is an economical and practical material, it is an ideal solution for the insulation for poultry houses. Insulation must be provided all over the houses. That is to say, one should not be content with roof insulation only but insulation must be provided on walls and even floors in cold climates.
