Why Climate Zone 9 Matters Here
Malibu falls within California Climate Zone 9 (Inland Valley (LA Basin)), an area defined by hot, dry summers and cool winters typical of the greater Los Angeles basin. This classification directly shapes the insulation, glazing, and HVAC efficiency values used in your compliance calculation.
Estimated from proximity to the nearest CEC reference station — we confirm the exact zone for your project's address before preparing your report.

At minimum we need the site address, a dimensioned floor plan, window schedule, proposed HVAC and water heating equipment, and insulation values. The more complete your plans, the faster we can turn around your report.
