What zone 1A means for a Westchester 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 Westchester, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 1A's requirement is the floor; Westchester's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

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