ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling environmental conditions or variables to which living organisms are exposed employs time integrated variables (TIVs) to assist in controlling the conditions. In one example, temperature in a poultry house is controlled, in part, according to a 24 hour time integrated average temperature value. Since it has been established that poultry is more sensitive to a 24 hour time integrated average temperature than to a particular instantaneous temperature, a temperature control strategy based upon the 24 hour time integrated average temperature can result in optimum performance of the poultry resulting in a substantial economic benefit. Further, in some instances the instantaneous temperature may be allowed to fluctuate over a wider range of temperatures, as long as the time integrated average temperature value is maintained within a desired range, and this can provide additional economic benefit from reduced operating expenses of the environmental control system. The invention can be applied to any living organism and any environmental variables which directly affect the organism in a time integrated average value manner.
