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
