Abstract: Ambient temperature bin data are used for estimating the energy consumption for heating and cooling of buildings. This well-known method is a steady-state approach and the energy requirements are determined at various outdoor temperatures, in order to account for the effect of outside temperature on the HVAC equipment efficiency. The application of the method requires detailed bin data. In this paper, the dry-bulb temperature bin data for 38 Greek cities are determined by using a reliable estimating methodology, based on monthly-average outdoor temperatures and solar clearness index. The data are calculated from -18 °C to 42 °C with 2 °C increments in six daily 4-h shifts, and are presented in tabular form.
