Abstract

The aim of the measurement was to assess the illuminance values and values of daylight factor in two stables for dairy cows that have the same technology layout. The difference between the stables was a shelter on the side of one of them. Measurements were made halfway through the stables including edge portions with cubicle and central parts with feed passage, above which is skylight. From the measured values of illuminance and calculated values of daylight factor, it can be seen that the effect of roof skylight is significant in terms of daylight. At the same time, they show how shelter affects daylight in the stable. The difference in values in the section under the roof skylight and in parts where the external walls are open is considerable. In the sheltered part, illuminance values are even lower than those with other external walls. This implies that the shelter sufficiently shades the cubicle, which is especially useful during summer.
