ASHRAE Research project 1273-RP recalculated and expanded the tables of climatic design conditions in the Handbook of Fundamentals. Compared with the previous edition, these new tables are characterized by an increased number of stations; the addition of a number of design conditions; and the expansion of monthly tables of design conditions to all stations. The calculation method for simple design conditions was slightly modified and uses frequency vectors of individual variables.
For most US and Canadian stations, data for the period 1972-2001 were used; for other stations, the 1982-2001 period was used. Design conditions were calculated for over 4,400 stations worldwide, including close to 1,100 in North and Central America and almost 1,400 each in Europe and Asia. The design conditions are available in both SI and IP units.
The project also led to the release of version 3.0 of the Weather Data Viewer (a separate product available soon in ASHRAE’s online bookstore).
NOTE: The original tables from the Handbook of Fundamentals are not included with this Research Project Final Report. If you do not have a copy of the 2005 Handbook of Fundamentals, you can purchase and download Chapter 28, Climatic Design Information.
