In this academic exercise, we used extensive building performance simulation data to investigate zoning options to States of Florida, Georgia and Tennessee in the USA. Analysis showed that some densely populated areas (such as Atlanta) were located in climate transition zones, making them prone to misclassification. We developed zoning alternatives to better capture interactions between climate, topography and buildings to improve building energy regulation.

In this study, we developed the first climate zoning for this country in Central America.
In spite of the small territory, we identified clearly distinct zones facing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as zones in mountains and in the lake regions.
