It's asking for design environments, or design days. In the examples,
you should see some SizingPeriod:DesignDay objects. You will need to
add similar objects for your location. If you are using one of the
standard EnergyPlus weather file locations, there is a ddy file included
with the epw weather that contains all of the standard ASHRAE design
days in EnergyPlus format. Just copy/paste the desired design days from
the ddy to your idf.
