Oregon spans 2 IECC climate zones. Find your exact zone, design temperatures, and get free Manual J load calculations for any Oregon location.
Oregon spans 2 IECC climate zones (Zone 4C, Zone 5B), which means insulation requirements, design temperatures, and equipment specs vary significantly depending on location. The primary zone, Zone 4C (Mixed - Marine), is a mixed climate, with winter design temperatures as low as 29°F and summer highs reaching 85°F. HVAC contractors working across Oregon need to verify the exact climate zone for each job site — using the wrong zone data leads to oversized or undersized equipment, failed inspections, and unhappy homeowners.
Minimum insulation R-values and window specifications required by the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code for Oregon.
| Component | Zone 4C | Zone 5B |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling / Attic | R-49 | R-49 |
| Walls | R-20 | R-20 |
| Floor | R-19 | R-30 |
| Window U-Factor | 0.32 | 0.3 |
| Window SHGC | 0.4 | 0.4 |
