themselves, you can get most of what you would need to know about them in the
“scorecard” spreadsheets. Each scorecard lists the inputs and
results for one particular building type across all the climate zones. Tip
- to get the scorecard files, you will need to download the zip files by
building type, not climate zone. It looks like Alaska has climate zones 7
and 8. Climate zone 7 was simulated using the TMY2 Duluth, MN weather
file, and climate zone 8 was simulated using the TMY2 Fairbanks, AK weather
file.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
