Ventilation & Cooling Resources Top

The MREC presents this page in cooperation with on-going research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison on the use of high speed (HS) and high volume low speed (HVLS) fans for cooling and ventilation of dairy barns.  This research is being conducted by Dr. David W. Kammel of the Biological Systems Engineering Department, with funding from Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, Wisconsin Focus on Energy, and Big Ass Fans.  

This page will be periodically updated as information becomes available.  Questions regarding this study may be addressed to the Webmaster via e-mail at the address below, or to Dr. Kammel at dwkammel@facstaff.wisc.edu.
