from the tabulated temperatures or local weather experience as
determined by the building official. Where local building site
climatic data are not available, climate data from a nearby location
included in RS-1, appendix C, (incorporated by reference, see Sec.
434.701) and RS-4 Chapter 24, Table 1, (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 434.701) shall be used as determined by the building official.]
301.2 Indoor Design Conditions. Indoor design temperature and humidity conditions shall be in accordance with the comfort criteria in RS-2 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 434.701), except that humidification and dehumidification are not required.
