What zone 1A means for a Lighthouse Point window
Lighthouse Point falls in IECC climate zone 1A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Broward County into its Southern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Lighthouse Point.
A Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.

Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Lighthouse Point home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Lighthouse Point, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.

- Very High
- Strong wind

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