One of the well-known and simple steady-state methods used to predict heati
ng and cooling energy consumption of buildings is the bin method that requi
res 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 El
