D32—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 24,1981 Insulation, ventilation NEWARK, Del. - A heated, well-ventilated hog house is im portant for providing comfort and good health for baby pigs. Fuel bills can be a major expense during winter months if producers don’t insulate and ventilate properly. Ernest Walpole, University of Delaware Extension agricultural engineer, says a well-insulated building is a must. For the Delmarva area, R-values of 14 in the walls and 22 in the ceiling are suitable. Doors and windows lose a lot of heat. They should fit tight to prevent drafts and be insulated for winter, or removed and per manently replaced with insulated wall sections. Exposed concrete foundations should be insulated as well os a two-foot depth of the building’s perimeter. Once a building is well-insulated, Walpole warns producers to watch for two potential problems.
