Williamson, Texas falls within IECC Climate Zone 2A (Hot - Humid), a cooling-dominated region with humid moisture conditions. HVAC contractors working in Williamson must use the official ASHRAE design temperatures of 32°F (99% winter) and 95°F (1% summer) when performing Manual J load calculations. These values represent the outdoor conditions your heating and cooling system must handle 99% and 1% of the year, respectively — ensuring proper equipment sizing without costly over- or under-sizing.
Because Zone 2A is cooling-dominated, solar heat gain control is critical. Williamson homes require windows with an SHGC of 0.25 or lower, along with R-13 wall insulation and R-30 ceiling insulation per the IECC 2021 energy code.
