The outdoor and indoor temperatures used for sizing heating and cooling equipment. 2, record 1, English, - design%20temperature
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Outdoor temperatures are based on historical records for the geographic location of the house and probability(e. g. 1 per cent or 2. 5 per cent design). When the actual outdoor temperatures exceed design temperatures, the heating or cooling system may not be able to maintain the indoor design temperature unless oversized to do so. 2, record 1, English, - design%20temperature

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les températures extérieures sont basées sur les données historiques de la localité où se trouve la maison et sur la probabilité (p. ex., calcul de 1 % ou 2,5 %). Quand les températures extérieures réelles excèdent les températures de calcul, le système de chauffage ou de climatisation risque de ne pas pouvoir maintenir la température intérieure de calcul, à moins d’avoir été surdimensionné à cette fin. 2, record 1, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20de%20calcul

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Such a system will run for only a short period of time before the temperature of the home is satisfied, and not operate as efficiently as a system that is sized accurately, as most systems take several minutes to reach peak operating efficiency. 2, record 2, English, - oversized%20system

Un tel système ne fonctionnera que durant une courte période avant d'atteindre une température de la maison satisfaisante et ne fonctionnera pas avec autant d'efficacité qu'un système d'une puissance appropriée puisque la plupart des systèmes prennent plusieurs minutes avant d'atteindre leur meilleur rendement. 2, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20surdimensionn%C3%A9
