MODEL CODES AND REGIONAL VARIATION
Building science experts continually advise to look at a building as a complete model that responds to the environment in which it is created. Consider the whole versus a focus on one element and integrate human comfort in the analysis.

New US Climate Zones (ASHRAE 169) - It does show that temperatures have increases and some cities have moved to warmer climate zones.
The chart from www.eia.gov shows a far greater dependence on fossil fuels for home heating in the Northeast than the other regions.
Where is this heading? An energy code alone cannot address all these areas. Net Zero/Carbon Zero will still need Energy Star efficiency targets for appliances, lighting, and HVAC. As our homes become more “intelligent”, how will energy use be managed?
