Integrerad hästanläggning : ridhus/stall

Abstract: Today there is an increasing market for businesses concerning horses, and since we are already running such establishments we sort of speak already have a finger in the pie. Due tothe increasing competition and demands, new and more practical constructions have become a necessity. In doing this project I wanted to make a comparison between having a stable integrated with a manege and having both constructions kept separate. I wanted to compare different layout and make an estimate of costs to see which solution would be less expensive and better with regard to working environment. I will further also deal with different ventilation-systems andlight transmissions. An advantage of building a stable integrated with a manege is that the costs are somewhat lower than by building both of the constructions separately. The reason to why the costs are lower is due to the fact that both walls and ceilings are used with, which would be used as supporting parts of the establishment anyway. You save a hole gable wall, and have the possibility to use the width of the building. Naturally there would be an increased expenditure for each extra meter being built with 26 meters roof trusses compared to building with 10 meters roof trusses. The total area of both the floor and ceiling will be somewhat lower in an integrated building. Keeping both buildings separately show clear advantages regarding light transmission and the ventilation of natural air. The light transmission and ventilation can be controlled manually by pushing a button which in turn manages opening and closing of windows in ridge. When the rigde openings are open almost no condensation is accumulated in the stable and thus many contagious diseases can be controlled. The stable will further be lighter and more spacious. I will also lower the consumption of electricity since I will not need any extra light during the days nor will I need any fans to run the ventilation. With regard to both of these solutions I would bare the extra expense of building a stable and manege separately, since I believe that the advantages are greater offer more practical solutions in the long run.
