A greenhouse barn maximises natural light and ventilation while operating at lower energy cost than fully enclosed barns—a modern livestock structure built on climate-smart principles.
Design Principles
- Polycarbonate or glass roof: Brings daylight deep into the building.
- Open ridge: Warm air rises naturally and exits at the top.
- Motorised side curtains: Side openings adjust to season and weather.
- Wide-span steel frame: Column-free interior for easier operations.
Benefits
Natural lighting supports milk yield; good ventilation reduces respiratory disease. Combined with HVLS fans, heat stress in summer drops significantly and animal welfare improves.
The Mila Entegre Approach
We apply our greenhouse technology experience to livestock structures through climate, structural and operational planning.
