A colder climate zone
The DOE's 2015 county guide places Buchanan County in climate zone 5A, colder than the 4A zone it lists for Jackson County and St. Louis. The city reviews residential projects to the 2024 International Residential Code, so insulation and window choices follow that edition and zone.
