What zone 1A means for a Kendale Lakes window
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL runs a January average near 68°F and climbs to about 84°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 142 heating degree days most winters, with 4,430 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Kendale Lakes, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 1A's requirement is the floor; Kendale Lakes's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

HVHZFlorida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Does Kendale Lakes fall inside the HVHZ?
Kendale Lakes, 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 Kendale Lakes 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 Kendale Lakes installer to show that specific paperwork for the exact product they're proposing, not a general Florida approval.
