OpenStudio weather file design days

Weather.png

Hello,

hopefully you can see the uploaded file. It shows the OpenStudio Site tab, and at the bottom of it a number of design days. I suppose I only need one (the worst case) design cooling day and one (the worst case) design heating day, yet there are three of each for this (San Antonio International Airport) weather file.

Is there a recommendation as to which of the many to keep - can I delete the others? The cooling design days are all 0.4%, but then there are DB=>MWB, DP=>MDB, Condns Enth=>MDB and Condns WB=> MDB. The heating design days are all 0.4% as well, but then there are Condns DB, Condns WS=>MCDB and Condns DP=>MCDB.

Looking forward to your advice.

(By the way, I have asked a few questions on this forum now, and I am very impressed with the speed and quality of responses!)

Thanks,

Matt
