Abstract

Thermal effects on buildings, defined in the draft standard ENV 1991-2-5:1997, and dependant on climatic parameters, are presented in the introductory part of the paper. The paper continues with the description of the study of extreme air temperature regimens in Croatia, based on data from the 1961-1990 period. The temperature-based zoning of Croatia was conducted according to vertical gradients of parameters Tmax50 and Tmin50, and based on their dependence on altitude. Five zones were defined for maximum air temperatures while six zones were defined for minimum air temperatures.
