I am writing as I am confused about the ClimateZone Class in the OpenStudio api

When I add a Climate Zone object via Desktop OS to OSM with no climate zone object, the following is added to the model.

OS:ClimateZones,    
 
{411f8af8-6ffc-4657-8b86-090ed54ce2b2}, !- Handle                         
 
!- Active Institution   ,

CEC ,!- Climate Zone Institution Name 2    
 
California Climate Zone Descriptions ,!- Climate Zone Document Name 2    
 
1995 ,!- Climate Zone Document Year 2  
 
!- Climate Zone Value 2 ;

However when I use the ClimateZone class in Ruby to add my own ClimateZone object (here) using the setTypeAndValue function the function insists that I give it a int value for Climate Zone Document Year.

I am using the data seen below for my other arguements to the setTypeAndValue function where the climate zone value could be any ashrae climate zone value.

What value should I be using for Climate Zone Document Year?
