APPENDIX B TEMPERATURE DATA The following tabulation presents mean construction season temperature (Tm) and extreme summer (Tw) and winter (Tc) temperature data for various localities in the United States. Most stations listed are located at airports; those identified as CO are city offices. Tm = the mean temperature during the normal construction season in the locality of the building. For the purpose of this report the normal construction season for a locality is defined as that contiguous period in a year during which the minimum daily tem- perature equals or exceeds 32 OF.* Tw = the temperature exceeded, on the average, only 1 percent of the time during the summer months of June through September in the locality of the building. (In a normal summer there would be approximately 30 hours at or above the design value.**) To = the temperature equaled or exceeded, on the average, 99 percent of the time during the winter months of December, January, and February in the locality of the building. (In a normal winter there would be approximately 22 hours at or below this design value.**) *These contiguous periods for each locality in the United States were obtained from the Decennial Census of United States Climate: Daily Normals of Temperature and Heating Degree Days (see reference on page 11) and the mean construction season temperature values Tm were com- puted (by Maj. T. E. Stanton of the USAF Environmental Technical Appli- cations Center, Washington, D. C.) from the mean monthly temperatures extracted from the National Weather Services' Local Climatological Data Summaries for the stations. In a few cases other sources also were used. **The Tw and Tc values are extracted from the ASHRAE Handbook of Funda- mentals (1972), published by the American Society of Heating, Refrig- erating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. 39
