Effect of Coconut Fiber Wall Panels on Humidity Conditions in a Tropical House

Houses in warm and humid tropical regions, like Indonesia, often experience uncomfortable conditions due to high temperatures aggravated by high humidity. With its adsorptive characteristics, natural coconut fiber can be utilized as wall panels and assigned to regulate house humidity levels. Research focusing on investigating the adsorptive capability of the natural coconut fiber in controlling humidity is widely available, but that specifically examines the effect of the surface area of the material on air humidity conditions in humid tropical extant houses is still limited. A field experiment was conducted in a small Surabaya house. The study analyzes the impact of coconut fiber (CF) wall panels on humidity conditions in each house room and the optimal surface area of the wall panels. CF wall panels were found to reduce the indoor relative humidity (RH) significantly. The optimal surface area varied depending on room characteristics. The optimal surface area of the wall panels for the living room is six (6) m² with a 28% RH reduction, for the bedroom is six (6) m² with a 27% reduction, and for the kitchen is five (5) m² with a 27% reduction.

Utilization of control technology for mushroom production houses using the internet of things (IoT) in SMEs Omah Jamur Ungaran

Indonesians are currently well familiar with oyster mushroom cultivation. However, there are various issues with cultivation. Omah Jamur Ungaran in Semarang Regency likewise has same problem. The issue is that the mushroom house's production is not optimum because controlling humidity is still done manually, by turning on the pump if the temperature and humidity are not ideal. This causes the mushroom house's humidity to fluctuate. Moreover, the pump's electrical consumption is erratic. This service activity's objective is to provide an automatic device to control humidity and temperature in the mushroom house for optimal mushroom production. The method is to employ IoT technology. The community service determined that the temperature and humidity management system in the oyster mushroom production room can be automated, with the sprayer pump turning on when the temperature reaches 29º C and off when the temperature reaches 28.5º C. Furthermore, using the Thingspeak platform, MSME owners may automatically monitor the temperature and humidity of the mushroom production room.

Measurement of Indoor Air Pollution in Bhutanese Households during Winter: An Implication of Different Fuel Uses

Measurements of indoor air pollution in Bhutanese households were conducted in winter with regards to the use of different fuels. These measurements were taken in Thimphu, Bhutan, for PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO, temperature, air pressure and relative humidity in houses and offices with various fuels used for heaters and classified as the hospital, NEC, kerosene, LPG and firewood. The objective of this study was to measure the pollutant concentrations from different fuel uses and to understand their relationship to the different fuel uses and meteorological data using a time series and statistical analysis. The results revealed that the average values for each pollutant for the categories of the hospital, NEC, kerosene, LPG and firewood were as follows: CO (ppm) were 6.50 ± 5.16, 3.65 ± 1.42, 31.04 ± 18.17, 33.93 ± 26.41, 13.92 ± 17.58, respectively; PM2.5 (μg·m−3) were 7.24 ± 4.25, 4.72 ± 0.71, 6.01 ± 3.28, 5.39 ± 2.62, 18.31 ± 11.92, respectively; PM10 (μg·m−3) was 25.44 ± 16.06, 10.61 ± 4.39, 11.68 ± 6.36, 22.13 ± 9.95, 28.66 ± 16.35, respectively. Very coarse particles of PM10 were identified by outdoor infiltration for the hospital, NEC, kerosene and LPG that could be explained by the stable atmospheric conditions enhancing accumulation of ambient air pollutions during the measurements. In addition, high concentrations of CO from kerosene, LPG and firewood were found to be mainly from indoor fuel combustion. Firewood was found to the most polluting fuel for particulate matter concentrations. For the relationships of PM and meteorological data (Temp, RH and air pressure), they were well explained by linear regression while those for CO and the meteorological data, they were well explained by polynomial regression. Since around 40% of houses in Thimphu, Bhutan, use firewood for heating, it is recommended that ventilation should be improved by opening doors and windows in houses with firewood heaters to help prevent exposure to high concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.

Moisture transfer modelling in polystyrene mortar with consideration of sorption hysteresis

The walls of buildings experience heat, air and moisture transfers. These transfers have a significant influence on indoor climate, since they affect the value of temperature and relative humidity inhouses. High levels of humidity lead to pathologies in the buildings, and influence the air quality and the hygrothermal comfort of the occupants. In this work, a numerical analysis of the behaviour of polystyrene mortar under hydric solicitations was led. The simulations were held using ComsolMultiphysics and MATLAB. There were two different moisture transfer models used in this work: the first one took into account sorption hysteresis phenomenon, and the other one did not. The computed results showed that considering sorption hysteresis in modelling the hydric behaviour of the material allows obtaining more accurate results comparing to a model that does not consider hysteresis.

Effect of Raising Beef Cattle in the Double Shaded House on Their Fattening Performance in Thailand

5 Abstract: The fattening performance of beef cattle improved by raising in double shaded house in Thailand. Eight fattening crossbred beef cattle, (50 to 75% Charolais crossbred cattle), were randomly assigned into two groups. They were raised under the management of small holders in Pon-Yang-Kham Co-operative in Sakon Nakhon, Thailand. In group 1, cattle were allocated in normal house which had one shade of zinc metal roof without ceiling and it was open house. In group 2, cattle were allocated in double shaded house which had one lower shade of zinc metal roof at the under and one upper shade of black plastic slant over the latter roof. After preliminary experimental period for 2 weeks, the temperature and relative humidity in houses were recorded and blood samples were collected on day 0, 90 and 180 of experimental duration to determine cortisol concentration. Changes in general physiology (rectal temperature, pulse rates, respiration rates, heat tolerance co-efficiency; HTC and sweating rates) and hematology (hematocrit (%), hemoglobin, blood glucose and blood urea nitrogen and cortisol concentration) were recorded through the experimental period. The temperature humidity index (THI) affected on the general physiological changes of cattle between group 1 and group 2 which were highly significant different (p<0.01) viz. rectal temperature (39.36 and 39.09°C), pulse rates (72.24 and 64.48 breaths/min), respiration rates (50.42 and 44.20 b/t), HTC (80.60 and 88.20%) and sweating rates (1.060 and 840 (mL/m /h), respectively and hematology and cortisol 2 concentration in blood serum of fattening beef cattle in both groups were increased (p<0.01). The fattening performance of cattle between group 1 and group 2 were significant different (p<0.05) as follows; final weight (722.62 and 748.20 kg), ADG (656.15 and 732.50 g/d), dressing percentage (54.24 and 60.40%) and marbling (3.51 and 3.84%). We suggest that raising beef cattle in a modified double shaded house is capable of improving fattening performance in the semi-tropical countries.
