The American Society of Heating & Refrigeration Engineers has released an adddenda to its consensus product — ASHRAE 169 Climatic Data for Building Design Standards. This standard was created to provide a comprehensive source of climate data for those involved in building design. ASHRAE 169 includes a variety of climatic information used primarily in the design, planning, and sizing of building energy systems and equipment. ASHRAE anticipates that the information within will represent a valuable resource for referencing in building design standards
A 21-page addendum has been released and open for comment. Large parts of it contains updated climatic data. You may access it at the link below:
