Organization (s) ICC. 2021 edition of code establishing a baseline for energy efficiency by setting performance standards for the building envelope (defined as the boundary that separates heated/cooled air from unconditioned, outside air), mechanical systems, lighting systems and service water heating systems in homes and commercial businesses.
The Energy Commission has developed an app to quickly and accurately show addresses and locations in relation to the geographic metes and bounds that determine California’s climate regions.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature, displayed as 10-degree F zones and 5-degree F half zones.
This chapter establishes climate zone by US counties and territories and includes methodology for determining climate zones elsewhere. It also contains product rating, marking and installation requirements for materials such as insulation, windows, doors and siding.
ASHRAE labels climate zones with numbers and letters. Numbers reflect the thermal climate zone and are determined by annual average heating degree days and cooling degree days. Letters reflect marine, dry, or humid moisture zones and are determined by precipitation and temperatures.
Climate zones are defined at the county level and are based on weather factors like winter and summer temperatures along with humidity and rainfall (to define the "Dry" and "Marine" sub-climates). The climate zone map had not changed since the 2003 IECC.
Building America determines building practices based on climate zones to achieve the most energy savings in a home. This page offers some general guidelines on the definitions of the various climate regions based on heating degree-days, average temperatures, and precipitation.
Our interactive climate zone map allows you to search for climate zone your building is located in. You can search by address, suburb or postcode to find your appropriate climate zone. The 'Show LGAs' checkbox allows you to toggle the layer that outlines a purple border around Local Government Areas.
The Building America and IECC climate maps are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The climate regions are described below. Climate zone boundaries follow county boundary lines. A listing of counties comprising each climate zone is provided below, beginning on page 5. The climate region definitions are based on heating degree days,
What does a map of climate zones really look like? Distance to the equator is only one part of an area’s climate. Things like the movement of the oceans and Earth’s tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe.
