Natural ventilation is an energy-efficient way to maintain air quality in livestock buildings, relying on wind and the stack effect. Heat generated by livestock causes warm air to rise and exit through roof outlets, drawing in fresh air through side inlets. However, many farm buildings lack sufficient ridge openings for adequate air exchange.

Products like Galebreaker’s Light Ridge improve airflow by incorporating a 600mm open vent for efficient warm air exhaust while allowing natural light into the building. Additional systems, such as Variable Ventilation Systems, use wind to optimise airflow, ensuring healthier environments for livestock and workers. VVS systems can be driven by temperature, wind direction, rain and wind speed to continually open and close the side curtains to maintain an ideal internal environment. Flexible products such as Rollerscreen and Bayscreen provide the perfect inlets for the building sides.
