* United States Data compiled from U. S. Weather Bureau Records for yearo indicated, and Canadian data from Meteorological Servioe of Canada corrected to 1946.
bCol. 2. The stations followed by letters AP are airport stations, all others are city office stations and are
followed by letters CO.
CoL3. The
marked r. are grminrl elevations of the station. Ail other elevations given are the
actual elevations of the thermometer bulb above mean sea level.
d Coi. 4. The periods of record indicated apply only to the lowest temperatureever recorded shown in Col.
6 and generally extend from a summer month of the first year indicated through the spring months of the last year indicated. The periods marked by d terminated in Deoember of the year indicated.
* Average of readings of one lowest temperature obtained for each year.
* It should be noted that Col. 7 applies only to airports, as these data for city stations are not available at
thwi time. The temperature shown is the minimum hourly out-door temperature which has been equalled or
exceeded 97$ per cent of the total hours in December, January and February for the period of record. It is
out that in most cases the airportstations are outside of the city and these data would apply primarily
to rural areas.

* Col. 8 indicates the average wind velocity which occurred at temperatures the same as, and lower than; the temperatures shown in Col. 7.
h CoL 6 records design temperatures in use by A.8.H.V.E. Members as reported by Chapter Secretaries ter thn various stations. Where these were not available the design temperatures from an ACRMA publica
tion and various other sources have been inserted.
`The wind velocities invested in Col. 10 were furnished by the U. S. Weather Bureau and corrected' through Feb. 1948.

words, a person may feel warm or cool at the same dry-bulb temperature, depending on the relative humidity and air motion. The optimum winter effective temperature for sedentary persons, as determined at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Laboratory, is 67-68 ET.
As explained in Chapter 6 for so-called still air conditions, a relative humidity of approximately 50 per cent is required to produce-an effective temperature of 68 ET when the dry-bulb temperature is 72.5 F; However, even where provision is made for artificial humidification, the relative humidity is seldom maintained higher than 40 per cent during the ex-
