Passive solar systems for heating agricultural buildings and structures

Today's solar systems are already cost-effective, reliable and easy to operate. Their use is gaining popularity in developed countries. It becomes not only economical, but also prestigious. Agriculture is one of the consumers of fuel and energy resources, and a significant part of them is used to generate heat, which is spent on heating, ventilation and hot water supply of industrial, residential and public buildings, and to create an artificial microclimate in agricultural buildings. A significant share of energy costs is accounted for by maintaining optimal microclimate parameters at agricultural facilities, which contributes to increased productivity. In each heated agricultural building, it is necessary to create and maintain a thermal regime depending on its purpose and the sanitary and hygienic requirements. The thermal regime of a building is its general thermal state during the heating season, considered as a set of thermal conditions in the premises. Thermal conditions in the premises are created by the interaction of the surfaces of heated and cooled enclosures, materials, masses of heated and cold air.
