Six countries have jurisdictions in the cool zone including Australia, Canada, China,India, Japan and the United States. Australia has the strongest roof requirements,followed by certain categories of buildings in Canada, India and the United States. Indiahas the highest thermal requirements for walls, followed by the wall requirements inCanada for electrically heated buildings, and China (commercial buildings with a shapecoefficient between 0.3 and 0.4). Canada has the most stringent requirements for elevatedfloors. Japan has the highest U-values for windows. Figure 3 highlights the range ofmaximum U-factors for windows in the cool zone across the APP region. Table 12 belowprovides more detail on all the envelope requirements in this zone.Figure 3 Comparison of Window U-factor Requirements in the Cool Zone54.543.5U-factor32.52Low maximumHigh maximumMidpoint1.510.50Lanzhou, CHN(Residential)Chicago, USALanzhou, CHN(Commercial)Vancouver,CANMukteswar, INDSapporo, JAP42

When countries have a range of requirements to coverdifferent types of situations, the midpoint of this range is used as the point of comparison.
