4. WHOLE ROOM SIMULATION DATABASE 
4.1 Description of Simulation Data Entry 
The first page contains a listing of the room geometry and ventilation configuration together with 
a picture. Summary result data is then presented for both average rack and room breathing zones. 
Temperature and CO 2 are presented as single figures whilst NH 3 values are shown over a ten day 
period. Please refer to Volume I: Section 4. 1.2. 8 . 2 for an explanation of the relationship between 
NH 3 generation rates and cage relative humidity. 
The second page shows three histogram population distributions of temperature, contamination 
(concentration) and relative humidity in the cage occupied zone of all cages in the room. The 
histograms show the number of cages (frequency) which have values that fall in the range 
between two values marked on the horizontal axis with the upper-value indicated. For example, 
in the sample histogram on the next page the column labeled 22.2 indicates that just over 40 
cages have temperatures between 22°C and 22.2°C.
