Aventura's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
ENERGY STAR groups Miami-Dade County into its Southern zone, the U-factor and SHGC target worth checking against any quote you get in Aventura.

Aventura's climate zone, in plain terms
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL runs a January average near 68°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 165 heating degree days most winters, with 4,220 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Aventura, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 1A's requirement is the floor; Aventura's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
