When sitting still at 15 degrees the temperature in windless conditions is 15 degrees. Traveling at 60 mph, the windchill is like -11 degree. Therefore your furnace will need to work as if the outside temp is -11 degrees when traveling.
Wind chill does not affect inanimate objects. Only living creatures 'feel' the affect of wind chill.
The effect of wind chill is to increase the rate of heat loss and reduce any warmer objects to the ambient temperature more quickly. It cannot, however, reduce the temperature of these objects below the ambient temperature, no matter how great the wind velocity.
