You’re located in Climate Zone 3.
Warm / Humid or Warm / Dry
Climate Zone 3 includes regions that experience warm temperatures for most of the year, with moderate winters and long shoulder seasons. This zone blends warm–humid coastal regions and warm–dry inland or desert-edge areas, each facing different moisture and energy demands. Buildings in Zone 3 must balance heat control, moisture management, and seasonal variability.
Zone 3 should focus on summer comfort, energy-smart cooling, and moisture management, ensuring homes stay comfortable and efficient throughout the warm season.
