摘要：
This article addresses the issue of technology selection to improve energy efficiency as a function of operation size on dairy farms in Nova Scotia. Energy audit data encompassing production volumes, operational characteristics of farms, such as water temperature, equipment size, and performance are used to determine the impact of production on the installation of energy efficient technology. A model is presented for determining how production volume and operational characteristics impact the energy requirements of water heating and milk cooling and ultimately provides a tool to aid pragmatic technology selection based on farm size.
