<p>I am in the process of revising the Jamaica Energy Conservation Code and would appreciate any advise on the captioned matter. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Jamaica's current building code classifies it as being in zone 1 of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC): which is equivalent to the classification for Puerto Rico, U.S.Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. However the 2021 IECC has introduced a new
climatic zone '0' for extremely hot climates. The previously mentioned islands have retained the zone 1 classification. So we wish to confirm whether the same applies to Jamaica.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Based on the 2021 IECC definitions, their climate zones are dependent on the range of cooling degree-days (CDD) above 10 degrees Celsius (C), as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Zone Cooling Degree Days > 10 deg. C</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">0 </span></strong>CDD> 6,000<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">1 </span></strong>5,000 < CDD < 6,000<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Jamaica's current code simply describes it's capital,Kingston, as having cooling degree-days above 18 deg. C. that is greater than 3,235. Could any of you advise where I could find Jamaica's cooling degree days above 10 deg. C., so that a decision can be
made as to which climate zone is applicable?<o:p></o:p></p>
