What zone 1A means for a Pinewood window
Pinewood falls in IECC climate zone 1A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Miami-Dade 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 Pinewood.
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.
Data: U.S. EPA / DOE, ENERGY STAR, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Climate Zones by County/ZIP (Windows, Doors, and Skylights) (V7.0); Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE Building America), Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270) (2021 IECC), from the nearest NOAA station 4.7 mi away.

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