1、 ANSI/ASAE S401.2 FEB1993 (R2012) Guidelines for Use of Thermal Insulation in Agricultural Buildings American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agric

2、ultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structur

3、es, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their u

4、se by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective us

5、ers are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standa

6、rds, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due

7、 process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple

8、 majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE require that acti

9、on be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard. Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. All rights reserved.

Such a structure may be used part-time, temporarily, or seasonally f

21、or work involved with agricultural production. This structure is not to be considered a place of human habitation or one regularly used by the public. 3.2 Insulating material (insulation) is defined as any material installed for the primary purpose of reducing heat transmission. 4 Burning Characteri

23、construction, may be installed in an exposed manner to the interior of the building. Installation assemblies not meeting these requirements shall be separated from the interior of the building by an ignition/thermal barrier as specified in 4.3. 4.2 Vapor retarders or facers that are exposed to the i

Materials that do not have a flame spread of 25 or less and smoke production of 450 or less shall meet the requirements of 4.3. 4.3 Insulation, vapor retarders, or

29、n Program, NVLAP, laboratory accredited for accepted thermal test procedures. Mean insulation temperature and heat flow direction affect the insulation values. Select values or test at conditions that are representative of expected use conditions. Accepted thermal test procedures are ASTM C518, C177

30、, C236, C976, or C1114. Laboratory test results should be made available upon request.

31、ll not contribute to degradation of the thermal properties of the insulation. If degradation is unavoidable, the loss in insulation value should be taken into account during the design, and long-term, aged insulation values should be used in the analysis. 5.3 The amount of insulation and thus the as

32、sembly U-values needed in agricultural buildings depends on many factors, such as the expected outside temperature, number and size of animals or quantity of plant products housed, desired inside temperature, cost of material and installation, consequences of wear and condensation, operating cost fo

33、r heating and/or cooling based on present and projected costs, and critical nature of building and contents being insulated. Table 1 lists recommended minimum insulation levels for agricultural buildings. More insulation may be justified with increasing energy costs in supplementally heated building

38、ave indoor conditions about the same as outside conditions. Examples are machinery storages, cold free stall barns, and open front livestock buildings. Minimum insulation is frequently ANSI/ASAE S401.2 FEB1993 (R2012) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 4 recommended

39、in the roof of these buildings to reduce solar heat gain in summer and to reduce condensation in winter. 5.3.2 Modified environment buildings rely on insulation, natural ventilation, and animal heat to remove moisture and to maintain the inside within a specified temperature range. Examples are warm

40、 free stall barns, poultry production buildings, and swine finishing units. 5.3.3 Supplementally heated buildings require insulation, ventilation, and extra heat to maintain the desired inside temperature and humidity. Examples are farrowing buildings, plant product storages, farm shops, and offices

41、. Cold and modified environment buildings requiring supplemental heat in a small area, such as brooders in an open front building, are not classified as supplementally heated. Table 1 lists recommended minimum insulation levels for agricultural buildings. More insulation may be justified with increa

42、sing energy costs in supplementally heated buildings. 6 Installation 6.1 Insulation should be chosen and installed after due consideration is given to the temperature extremes which will be encountered. Some plastic insulations melt at elevated temperatures. Some insulations lose their fire retardat

43、ion properties under long-term elevated temperature and humidity conditions. Some absorb moisture, which reduces insulation value, in high humidity conditions. Some insulations may cause corrosive reactions with building components. 6.2 The insulation or covering materials should be durable, cleanab

44、le, moisture resistant, non-toxic to livestock, and consistent with applicable FDA regulations. There should be no transfer of odor, taste, or toxicity to food and feed products stored in the building. 6.3 Insulation immediately adjacent to heaters, electrical panels and devices, and welding operati

45、ons is more susceptible to fire and melting. Flammable insulation in these and other similarly hazardous areas should be protected with ignition barriers as defined in 4.3. 6.4 Extreme care shall be taken when using a torch, welder, etc., around insulation during construction or renovation of a buil

46、ding. A person with a fire extinguisher shall maintain a fire watch during work and for at least two hours after work is complete. 6.5 Insulation should be installed in such a manner that a reasonably uniform insulation value exists over the entire insulated area. 6.6 Insulation should be installed

47、so that it will not unacceptably settle or sag. Insulation, if susceptible to deterioration from ultraviolet light, should be protected from the sun. 6.7 Insulation should be chosen and installed in a manner that will discourage the entrance and chewing by rodents, pecking by birds, infestation by i

48、nsects, and damage by livestock. 6.8 A vapor retarder should be chosen and installed with the insulation that provides a permanent resistance to the passage of water vapor of 14.3 ng/Pasm2(0.25 perms) or less when installed. Vapor retarders shall be evaluated and installed in conformance with the la

49、test edition of ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. 6.9 When there is a possibility of moisture migrating through the insulation, the wall or roof section shall be constructed so that the moisture can escape on the cold side. 7 Miscellaneous Considerations 7.1 Full-scale building fire tests (ref. Hagan, 1981) conducted by insulation manufacturers on unoccupied buildings with various installation configurations, types, and amounts of insulation (all with 25 or less flame ANSI/ASAE S401.2 FEB1993 (R2012)
