Thus, it is important for builders and building officials to know which climate zones apply to their projects. 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 climate zone applicable to a building project is determined based on its physical location as it relates to the determinations of climate regions found in the Commission publication California Climate Zone Descriptions, which contains detailed survey definitions of the 16 climate zones.
The list of climate zone areas by ZIP code is located on the CEC website here: https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/building-energy-efficiency-standards/climate-zone-tool-maps-and. CEC has also developed an interactive climate zone lookup tool that allow user to locate climate zone by address or ZIP code.
8 lut 2024 · The California climate zones shown in this map are not the same as what we commonly call climate areas such as "desert" or "alpine" climates. The climate zones are based on energy use, temperature, weather and other factors.
