<DIV></DIV>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. <BR><BR>I'm not sure how to find weather
data files for international sites. I know there have been some posts
about this recently.<BR><BR>You may want to submit a CIR for anything that does
not fall directly under ASHRAE guidelines. <BR><BR>~karen~<BR><BR
