What zone 3C means for a Eastern Goleta Valley window
Eastern Goleta Valley falls in IECC climate zone 3C, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Santa Barbara 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 Eastern Goleta Valley.
A Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
