If you read the Sizing:* objects, you will see that they will only run if
you have one of the SizingPeriod:* objects.

Not exactly -- it is the most important header.

There are SizingPeriod:* objects that use information from the Typical
Extreme header.  If there are holidays listed in the holiday header,
the runperiod can select to use them.  The RunPeriod is adequately
described in the IO Reference.  As are the SizingPeriod:*
objects.

The Design Conditions line is given for convenience.  It cannot be
used directly by the program because there is a lot of extra data needed
in a DesignDay object that isn't supplied.
