What zone 1A means for a Kendall West window
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL runs a January average near 67°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 156 heating degree days most winters, with 4,244 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Kendall West, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 1A's requirement is the floor; Kendall West's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

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