11 Minimum Ventilation
The following sections detail how to configure Minimum Ventilation. Minimum ventilation means "air
exchange", or the amount of air needed to ensure animal health when the outside temperature is low.
As animals grow, the amount of air they need increases.
Element supports three Minimum Ventilation options:
o
Basic (default option): The Basic option determines the minimum ventilation levels
based on the growth day. If more air is required, the level rises to the next setting.
o
Soft Minimum: Soft Minimum determines the minimum ventilation levels based on the
growth day. However, in Soft Minimum the minimum ventilation increases in a curve.
In addition, in cases of extreme cold, Soft Minimum supports an additional, lower
ventilation setting.
o
By Weight: Ventilation by Weight determines the ventilation needs based on the
temperature, number of animals, and swine weight.

Basic ventilation provides ventilation based on the day and the temperature. As the days increase and
if the temperature changes, the ventilation level changes accordingly.
