All, I'm using Mathematica to model energy consumption in chicken farms given basic data. Then I'm planning to use regression -BUT- before I do I wanted to check in with the gurus. Normally, energy consumption is a function of Heating/Cooling Degree Days and I'd like to hear if someone believes this is NOT the case here. Has anyone developed a purely mathematical model based on radiant, convective and conductive heat transfer? I'd rather not take the regression approach if I can get a theoretical model instead. Thanks! Doug Lundin
