In an exemplary embodiment, an Environmental Optimization System (“EOS”) provides a system for the intelligent control and monitoring of a poultry or livestock house environment through the utilization of a solar thermal collection system, a variety of environmental and livestock behavior sensors, apparatus for controlling the thermal collection and existing interior heating/air conditioning/ventilation (“HVAC”) systems, and Internet or cloud based intelligent control and monitoring capabilities of the system. In various embodiments central sensor data aggregation is utilized to provide improved optimization control for individual structures based on data from multiple structures.

A swiftlet breeding facility, for use in creating and harvesting edible bird's nests. The facility includes sub-systems for injecting live insect and worm prey, and water, into an aerial enclosure to provide a feeding system imitative of a natural swiftlet feeding environment.

A fully air-powered, n-way redundant aquaponic system for integrated cultivation of various fish, plant, and mushroom species, off-grid, with each grow bed including a respective DC air pump, solar panel, and battery to ensure self-sufficiency, redundancy, and enhanced resilience. Each mushroom grow bed also includes an evaporative cooling system for year-round mushroom production.

A foldable aquaponics, and greenhouse container system and method, includes an insulated shipping container having foldable insulated roof panel disposed thereover; a foldable glazing on a sun facing side at an angle to maximize winter sunlight attached to the roof panel; a foldable floor panel attached to the container with a foldable vent panel attached thereto connecting to the glazing; foldable side panels attached to sides of the container, glazing and roof panel; a plant growing under the glazing; a mushroom growing area within the container having an integrated water wall thermal mass and disposed between the plant and mushroom growing areas; a fish tank within the container; and a natural air ventilation system within the container under the roof panel to provide CO2 and O2 gas exchange between the mushroom growing area and the plant growing area.

The invention discloses a cattle shed, comprising a cattle bedding, a feeding channel, a fixed roof, a movable roof, a feeding trough, a peripheral rail fence, and a rail fence gate, wherein the cattle bedding is provided with no dividers and needs no hardening and daily manure cleaning, which is merged with playground and enclosed. The feeding channel is hardened and higher than the cattle bedding, the fixed roof and the movable roof cover the cattle bedding and the feeding trough, the peripheral rail fence and the rail fence gate surround the cattle bedding and the feeding trough, and the fixed roof and the movable roof are arranged in a slope mode, and the movable roof can be opened to allow sunlight to enter and exchange air to form convection. The cattle shed of the present invention can reduce the construction cost, open the movable roof, effectively utilize the sunlight and the air convection, ensure a complete rain-sewage separation, and realize zero discharge of manure and sewage.

A system of solar thermal collectors and an HVAC controller draw heated air through a solar thermal absorbing needle-punched propylene geotextile with limited permeability to air flow, into the interior of poultry livestock house. In various embodiments, the poultry livestock house is divided into zones. Groups of collectors are joined with breather holes on opposite sides of the collectors and solid sides on the ends of each group. Groups of collectors serve each zone of the poultry livestock house. In an embodiment of the system the Environmental Optimization System (“EOS”) provides a system for the intelligent control and monitoring the broiler poultry livestock structure environment through the utilization of a variety of environmental and livestock behavior sensors, apparatus for controlling the thermal collection and existing interior heating/air conditioning/ventilation (“HVAC”) systems, and Internet or cloud based intelligent control and monitoring capabilities of the system. In various embodiments central sensor data aggregation is utilized to provide improved optimization control for livestock zones within individual structures based on data from multiple structures.
