I saw a presentation on it at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1982, in a math department seminar. There may be a faculty member there that you should talk to.

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.
