Healthy Indoor environment for human and animals
A healthy indoor climate is important for the health of the animal. In order to analyze the indoor climate, the climate limit value per animal group has been examined. This climate limit value per animal species can be found in the table below.

In the HCM app, the human climate threshold values are used in the graphs by default. If you define an animal type, the grade for this animal type will be calculated. Green horizontal lines represents the minimum value and red horizontal lines the maximum value for the selected animal type.
See the app screeshot below for an example of the boundary values for pigs.
