What zone 1A means for a Davie window
Broward County's normal precipitation runs about 68.8 inches a year, with 0.0 inches of snow, which is a separate question from energy performance but still shapes which window details matter in Davie.
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Davie buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.

HVHZFlorida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Does Davie fall inside the HVHZ?
Davie, FL sits inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means yes is the answer to whether the stricter statewide testing tier applies here.
In practice, that means a window installed in Davie needs a Florida product approval marked for the HVHZ, or a Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance, not just a standard statewide approval.
Ask any Davie installer to show that specific paperwork for the exact product they're proposing, not a general Florida approval.
