The Tucson 11 W station averages 11 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3

Heat is the governing season: about 149 days a year reach 90°F and 61 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 11 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Cooling dominates the year: about 3,197 cooling degree days against 1,437 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Oro Valley sits in IECC climate zone 2B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Oro Valley are normally issued by the town building department.5,6
