Bardmoor's climate zone, in plain terms
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL runs a January average near 62°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 447 heating degree days most winters, with 3,701 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Bardmoor, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 2A's requirement is the floor; Bardmoor's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
