Why Climate Zone 4 Matters Here
Santa Cruz falls within California Climate Zone 4 (Mixed Marine), an area defined by coastal fog and moderate summers with cooling-dominant afternoons. This classification directly shapes the insulation, glazing, and HVAC efficiency values used in your compliance calculation.
