What zone 1A means for a Three Lakes window
Three Lakes 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 Three Lakes.
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.

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