One of the most important initial decisions for modeling is selecting the weather data. There are several international methods for defining weather data used for load calculations and building energy modeling. The traditional ASHRAE method for defining weather data involves selecting the peak weather temperature and using a model for the daily range. Over time weather data availability has increased. This workshop allows the participants to explore the derivations of Cooling Design Day weather data using the ASHRAE model technique and other international techniques and to compare those to actual weather data to explore these differences in the results.
