Full Description

This new standard was created to provide a comprehensive source of climatic data for those involved in building design. It provides a variety of climatic information for use primarily in the design, planning, and sizing of building energy systems and equipment. It is anticipated that the information in this standard will represent a valuable resource available for referencing in building design standards.

The information presented in this standard has been compiled from ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.2-2004, Energy-Efficient Design of Low-Rise Residential Buildings, and the 2005 ASHRAE Handbooktm; Fundamentals.
