Revision history [back]

The program is showing you the name of the Sizing:Period object specified in your input file. This is only a unique name, however, I suspect that other inputs in this object are specific to Chicago and should be reviewed and modified as needed. For example, what is the maximum dry-bulb temperature for your location during the specified day in the Sizing:Period object? Does this match the value specified here? There are also other values in this object that should be reviewed.
