What zone 3C means for a Cupertino window
Cupertino falls in IECC climate zone 3C, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Santa Clara County into its South-Central zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Cupertino.
A San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
