The RES4LIVE final conference “RES4LIVE: renewable energy and sensors for thermal comfort of livestock” will take place during the 75^th EAAP annual meeting in Florence on 3^rd September 2024.

The RES4LIVE Final Conference aims to present the culmination of its research and development efforts in fossil-free livestock farming and share key findings and technological advancements with stakeholders, emphasizing sustainable energy solutions for intensive livestock farming. Our discussions will cover a range of topics including:

• The use of energy auditing in intensive livestock farming facilities
• The simulation model for renewable energy systems in livestock barns applied to three case studies
• The AgEnergy platform – a tool to search and assess fossil-energy-free technologies and strategies
• An integrated renewable energy system for the de-fossilization of a commercial swine nursery barn
• Heat Pump HVAC System as Part of an Integrated RES System for the Indoor Climate Control of a Laying Hen House
• Geothermal energy concepts for livestock applications, analysis of energy savings, life cycle cost and animal welfare
• Life Cycle Impact Assessment of an Integrated PVT-BTES-Heat Pump System for a Commercial Swine Farm in Italy
• Modeling of thermal status at animal level – Swine and Cattle
• The effect of renewable energy transition on the thermal comfort in a pig farm – animal compartment level experimental investigation
• Compact Bio-CNG farm filling fuel production from anaerobic digestion: Hollow fiber permeation and Hybrid compression for technically and economically feasible small-scale biofuel production

Join us as we explore these innovative approaches to making energy use in livestock farming more sustainable.
