N2  - The experimental work was held in commercial broiler house at Babil
village, Menofia Governorate, latitude and longitude angles are 30.67°N
and 30.98°£, respectivel}) during winter season of 2015 in order to
evaluate the performance of manufactured heating system and its effect
on indoor air temperature and energy requirements.
The indoor air temperature above the floor surface. indoor air relative humidity. fuel consumption. heat energy addition and speCific heating po·werfor evetycubic meter ofhouse voilimewere measured andspecific fuel consumption also. Broilers performance evaluation was also determined in terms of live body mass. The obtained results showed that using manufactured heater in heating broiler house the weekly average indoor air temperature ranged between 31.61 to 23.26 °C atfirst andfifth week respectively. Whereas, the indoor relative humidity ranged between
26.15 to 52.48% at the same ages. The average heat energy addition to the house was 63.28 kW throughout the bird's life and specific heating power was 148.4 W/m J at the first week and reduced to be 37.07 W/m J atfifth week. Heating energy requirements decreasedfrom 422.59 kJ/h.kg at the first week ofage until reached to 19.45 kJ/h.kg atfifth week ofage where the average broilers body mass was 2.2 kg
