<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Based on Kingston's EPW file of Onebuilding, the CDD above
10 C is 6448. BTW, above 18 C is 3528.</div>
<div>Hope it helps.</div>

<div>Subject: [Bldg-sim] Cooling Degree-Days For Jamaica </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<p>I am in the process of revising the Jamaica Energy
Conservation Code and would appreciate any advise on the
captioned matter. </p>
<p>Jamaica's current building code classifies it as being in
zone 1 of the International Energy Conservation Code
(IECC): which is equivalent to the classification for
Puerto Rico, U.S.Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. However the
2021 IECC has introduced a new climatic zone '0' for
extremely hot climates. The previously mentioned islands
have retained the zone 1 classification. So we wish to
confirm whether the same applies to Jamaica.</p>
<p>Based on the 2021 IECC definitions, their climate zones
are dependent on the range of cooling degree-days (CDD)
above 10 degrees Celsius (C), as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Zone Cooling Degree Days > 10 deg. C</strong></p>
<p><strong>0 </strong>CDD> 6,000</p>
<p><strong>1 </strong>5,000 < CDD < 6,000</p>
<p>Jamaica's current code simply describes it's
capital,Kingston, as having cooling degree-days above 18
deg. C. that is greater than 3,235. Could any of you
advise where I could find Jamaica's cooling degree days
above 10 deg. C., so that a decision can be made as to
which climate zone is applicable?</p>
