This chapter and the accompanying data summaries in PDFformat provide the climatic design information for 9237 locations in the UnitedStates, Canada, and around the world. This is an increase of 1119 stations fromthe 2017 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. As in previous editions, thelarge number of stations made printing the whole tables impractical. Consequently,the complete table of design conditions for only an “example city” appears inthis printed chapter to illustrate the table format. However, a subset of thetable elements most often used is presented in the Appendix at the end of thischapter for selected stations representing major urban centers in the UnitedStates, Canada, and around the world. The complete data tables for all 9237stations are included with both the PDF version of this chapter and the Handbook Online version.

This chapter and the data in the accompanying download provide the climatic design information for 8118 locations in the United States, Canada, and around the world. This is an increase of 1675 stations from the 2013 ASHRAE Handbook–Fundamentals. As in the previous edition, the large number of stations made printing the whole tables impractical. Consequently, the complete table of design conditions for only Atlanta, GA, appears in this printed chapter to illustrate the table format. However, a subset of the table elements most often used is presented in the Appendix at the end of this chapter for selected stations representing major urban centers in the United States, Canada, and around the world. The complete data tables for all 8118 stations are contained in the zip file that accompanies this chapter download; to navigate the tables, open the StnList.pdf, identify the desired weather station, and follow the link to that station’s table.
