*2.6. Testing Application*

After reviewing the steps followed for the testing of the verification model, the climates and model characteristics were explained. For the test, six different climatic zones were chosen. For the cold-climate group, V3 and V1 zones were chosen. V3 has the coldest

climatic conditions, with Toluca de Lerdo as the studied city. We selected V1 because it represents the temperate climatic conditions, with Mexico City as the studied city. For the warm-tropical group, W1 and X1 were chosen: W1 because it represents warm climatic conditions, with Merida as the studied city, and X1 because it represents the tropical climatic conditions of Yucatan Peninsula, with Campeche as the studied city. Finally, for the arid desert group, zones Y1 and Z2 were chosen: Y1 because it represents the semiarid climatic conditions of he northern states, with Culiacan as the studied city, and Z2 because it has the warmest climatic conditions, with Mexicali as the studied city.
