Local Climate Conditions

Aurora's climate zone 5B represents a dry cold climate with significant heating requirements. With design temperatures ranging from -3°F in winter to 90°F in summer (a 93°F range), and humidity levels around 44%, the area creates specific HVAC challenges. Local wind patterns include high plains winds with mountain influences, which affects building pressure relationships and equipment performance. The urban heat island effect in Aurora can increase ambient temperatures by 5-10°F, requiring additional cooling capacity in dense areas. Air quality considerations require enhanced filtration systems due to moderate air quality conditions.
