In order to establish the criterion for analyzing outdoor weather conditions in the greenhouse heating and cooling system design, we analyzed heating and cooling design outdoor temperatures by the annual percentile method and compared with design outdoor temperatures by the existing seasonal percentile method. In the annual percentile method, 0.4%, 1% and 2% of the total 8,760 hours per year are presented as cooling design outdoor temperatures and 99.6% and 99% as heating design outdoor temperatures. When the annual percentile method was adopted, heating design outdoor temperatures increased by 6.7 to 9.6% compared with the seasonal percentile method, and cooling design outdoor temperatures decreased by 0.6 to 1.1%. The maximum heating load in the same greenhouse condition decreased by 3.0 to 3.6% when the annual percentile method was adopted, but the effect on the maximum cooling load was insignificant. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the change of heating design outdoor temperatures to the annual percentile method, but it is not necessary to change the cooling design outdoor temperatures since there is little difference between the two methods.
