[Leonard Sciarra]

read section B1 of appendix B it talks about how to determine climate
zones for international locations not listed.  that should do the trick.

I have not done this, and you may want to check the CIRs, but in ASHRAE
90.1-2004 on pages 118- 120, there is some information about climate
zones for international locations.  Pages 118-119 has Table B-3,
International climate zones and lists climate zones for a limited number
of international locations.  You may be able to find something close to
your location.  On page 120, there is a list of climate zones and their
corresponding criteria.  If you have HDD, CDD50, and major climate type
definition (see page 109), you should be able to make a decision as to
what climate zone your building falls under. 

I'm not sure how to find weather data files for international sites.  I
know there have been some posts about this recently.

You may want to submit a CIR for anything that does not fall directly
under ASHRAE guidelines.
