I have not done this, and you may want to check the CIRs, but in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 on pages 118- 120, there is some information about climate zones for international locations. Pages 118-119 has Table B-3, International climate zones and lists climate zones for a limited number of international locations. You may be able to find something close to your location. On page 120, there is a list of climate zones and their corresponding criteria. If you have HDD, CDD50, and major climate type definition (see page 109), you should be able to make a decision as to what climate zone your building falls under.
