What the zone means here

Escondido is in Climate Zone 10, Inland Empire and Inland San Diego

Hot summers and real winter nights. High volume, and cooling loads big enough that design choices show up in the results.

Where Escondido projects usually lose margin: This is where projects fail on glazing. Keep west-facing window area honest and specify low SHGC.

Every compliance run for a Escondido project uses the CEC weather file for Riverside, the reference station for Zone 10. That file, not the address, is what the energy budget is calculated against, which is why getting the zone right matters more than anything else about location.
