What the zone means here

Santa Clarita is in Climate Zone 9, LA Basin and San Fernando Valley

Hot dry summers, cool nights, mild winters. The busiest residential zone in California.

Where Santa Clarita projects usually lose margin: Attic and duct performance dominate. Radiant barrier and a cool roof are cheap margin here.

Every compliance run for a Santa Clarita project uses the CEC weather file for Burbank, the reference station for Zone 9. 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.
