Choose a Climate Zone

Tracking climate zone information allows you to better compare project performance against other projects in similar climates. For projects in the US, the climate zone is auto-generated according to the postal code. For international projects, the climate zone is optional but encouraged. You may consult the reference table below to establish a comparable location and climate zone. 

The climate zone information provided is based on 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). You will find it in the Chapter 3 [CE], Section C301 by using this link.
