CHAPTER 15
1949 Guide
States. The highest temperature ever recorded is for the period of record shown. In some cases it should be noted that this period of record is com paratively short and higher temperatures may be expected. In making comparisons for other localities than those shown in Table 3 due considera
tion must be given to elevation.
Column 6 of Table 3 indicates the design dry-bulb temperature suggested by the A.S.H.V.E. Technical Advisory Committee on Weather Design Conditions. This temperature is the maximum hourly outdoor tempera ture which has been equalled or exceeded 2j per cent of the total hours of June, July, August and September for the period of record, in this case the 5 year period 1935-1939, and should not be confused with the period of record given in Column 4 which applies only to highest temperature ever recorded. Since all of these data (Column 4) are based on airport records they are not necessarily applicable to cities.
The data given in Columns 7 and 8 were obtained from local A.S.H.V.E. Chapter Secretaries and represent the design temperatures in local use. Where such information was not available it was taken from a publication of the A.C.R.M.A.1 and from various other sources.
The Technical Advisory Committee on Weather Design Conditions has suggested that wet-bulb design temperature be taken as that wet-bulb temperature which has been equalled or exceeded 5 per cent of the hours during months of the period of record. While not available for the 1949 edition of The Guide due to the tremendous task of compiling these data it is hoped that they will be available for some stations for future editions.
The wind velocity to be used in design should be that wind velocity which accompanies the design temperatures in each instance but since these data are not available the average summer wind velocities for the period of record were taken from U. S. Weather Bureau records revised to 1948. It is pointed out that this is not necessarily the velocity which coincides with the design temperatures but it may serve as a guide to the designer.
Other weather data such as daily range of temperature are useful particu larly when making cooling load calculations for an early morning peak on an east exposure. Daily range of temperature is the difference between the average of the daily maximum dry-bulb temperatures and the aver age of the daily minimum temperatures. This range is highest in semiarid or desert regions and at high elevations and lowest near the oceans or very large lakes. The daily range of temperature (Fahrenheit de grees) in July for the principal areas of the United States can be ap proximated from the following tabulation:
East Sea Shore.............12 to 18 Gulf Sea Shore............. 12 to 18
Great Lakes Shore.......18 to 21 West Sea Shore.............15 to 20
East of Mississippi River...........................19 to 24
Mississippi River to Rocky Mountains___24 to 33 Rocky Mountain Area.................................. 33 to 42
West Coastal States...................................... 20 to 36
Ventilation Rate
The introduction of outside air is necessary for the ventilation of condi tioned spaces. Chapter 12 suggests minimum outdoor-air requirements for representative applications; but it is to be emphasized that minimum re quirements are not necessarily adequate requirements for all psychological attitudes and physiological responses.
Local codes and ordinances frequently specify ventilation requirements for public places and for industrial installations.
