    In order to evaluate the thermal environment in open-type livestock barns by physiological responses of animals, the authors measured the response of respiration rate to thermal environment for two hogs (25-41kg.) (Table 1).
    The effect of mean radiant temperature on respiration rate was revealed to be almost the same as one of dry-bulb temperature by correlation and multiple regression analyses (Table 2-5).
    A single numerical index, “Environmental Evaluation-Temperature (EET)”, based on respiration rate was obtained (EET=(0.6-0.7) Td+(0.3-0.2) Tw+0.1Tmr, where Td, Tw and Tmr are dry-bulb, wet-bulb and mean radiant temperatures, respectively). This index was seemed to be useful for evaluating the effect of thermal radiant modifications in open-type barns.

    In this report the auther investigated the heat holding characteristics of a greenhouse with three movable inner curtains and well-water spraying device.
    1) In maintaining room temperature of 13-15°C, an excellent overall heat transmission coefficient of 0.64kcal/m2hr°C was obtained.
    2) The well-water spraying system showed a high resistance to heat dissipation through curtains when the ambient air temperature was low. The ratio of room temperature decrease to ambient temperature decrease was as small as 0.22°C/°C.
    3) The heat transmission coefficient at each location of the greenhouse was obtained by means of a modified heat transfer model.
    4) The average error of 0.3-0.8°C was obtained when the night temperatures calculated by the following estimation formula were compared with the measured values.
    θin=0.13θsk+0.21θou+0.66θso+0.07Hw+0.18Hi
    This formula also gave the efficiency of 0.18°C/kcal m-2 hr-1 for hot air heating of this house.
