One of the well-known and simple steady-state methods used to predict heating and cooling energy consumption of buildings is the bin method that requires reliable and detailed bin data. In this study, the bin data for Turkey are determined by using long-term measured data. The bin data for dry-bulb temperature from -36 degreesC to 45 degreesC with 3 degreesC increments are calculated in six daily 4-h shifts for 78 provinces of Turkey. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
