IECC Climate Zone Lookup by County

Find the IECC 2021 / 2024 climate zone for any US county, with the prescriptive envelope U-factors and window limits that zone requires.

How to use

  1. Pick the state and county, or press Use my location.
  2. Read the climate zone (for example 5A: cool, humid) and the heating or cooling degree-day range that defines it.
  3. Switch between commercial and residential, and between the 2021 and 2024 IECC, to see the prescriptive maximum U-factors for roofs, walls and windows in that zone.
  4. The county you pick becomes the project location for the Envelope U-Factor and Sun Angle tools.
  5. Zones follow PNNL’s county guide for IECC 2021, which IECC 2024 keeps. Check for local amendments with the authority having jurisdiction.
