[1] [2] The code is updated every 3 years, to provide an ongoing standard of best practices for energy efficiency. [ 3 ] In addition to overall building standards the code defines the Climate Zones used in building, shown in this picture.
The 2019 California Energy Code became effective on January 1, 2020. [5] It focuses on such areas such as residential photovoltaic systems, thermal envelope standards and non-residential lighting requirements. Homes built under this code are about 53% more energy efficient than those built to comply with the 2016 Energy Code. [6]
The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) is a global initiative of tools to create local climate zone maps for a given city using a standard methodology. [1] It has both a database and a portal. The database has hierarchical layers of increasing detail, with data acquired via crowdsourcing methods such as Geo-Wiki. [2]

The Köppen climate classification system was modified further within the Trewartha climate classification system in 1966 (revised in 1980). The Trewartha system sought to create a more refined middle latitude climate zone, which was one of the criticisms of the Köppen system (the climate group C was too general). [10]: 200–1
Climate classifications are systems that categorize the world's climates. A climate classification may correlate closely with a biome classification, as climate is a major influence on life in a region. The most used is the Köppen climate classification scheme first developed in 1884.
The new 2023 map also is divided into 10-degree Fahrenheit zones and further divided into 5-degree Fahrenheit half-zones, to reflect microclimates and the inclusion of more weather data.
