Abstract
Hourly weather data for six selected cities in the United States covering eleven consecutive years were analyzed to aid in estimating the possible energy saving that could be achieved by closing the outdoor dampers during unoccupied hours. Hourly temperature and enthalpy values are presented in histogram form for occupied and unoccupied periods (office use), with the suggestion that similar data processing be carried out for other cities as well.
