The data contained in the following table was obtained through a joint effort by the Southern California Chapter and the Golden Gate Chapter of ASHRAE. It is reprinted here with the written permission of Southern California Chapter ASHRAE, Inc. The values for 1.0 percent drybulb and 1.0 percent mean coincident wetbulb (MCWB) are interpolated.
The
data in Table 2-3 is developed from Aa full listing of design
location data for California is contained in the ASHRAE publication SPCDX,
Climate Data for Region X, Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada (ISBN

Table 2-3 – Design Day Data for California Cities
*Heating Degree Day is a unit, based on temperature difference and time, used in estimating fuel consumption and specifying nominal annual heating load of a building. For any one day when the mean temperature is less than 65ºF (18ºC), there exist as many degree days as there are Fahrenheit degrees difference in temperature between mean temperature for the day and 65ºF (18ºC).
