Healthy-home design-build in Schertz, Texas
Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar Counties · San Antonio metro · Climate zone 2A
Schertz spans three counties on the northeast edge of the San Antonio metro and permits through CityView with city-run inspections. Most of its housing is suburban and relatively recent.
The adopted code editions are not settled in the public record we hold, so they are flagged pending verification rather than stated. We confirm the editions with the building department before we design to them.

Climate-zone note
Schertz sits in climate zone 2A on the 2015-era map — hot and humid. For most of the year the moisture drive runs from outside toward the interior, which is the opposite of the cold-climate assumption most published detailing is written around. That single fact governs where the vapour control belongs, how a wall is expected to dry, and why an interior polyethylene layer is the wrong answer here.
The 2021-era zone designation for this jurisdiction is not settled in our record and carries a Pending Verification flag. It does not change how we detail an assembly, but it can change which code table applies, so we confirm it before submittal rather than assume it.
What we run into here
- Climate zone 2A; suburban slab-on-grade construction dominates.
- Three-county jurisdiction, so parcel-level obligations vary across the city.
- City inspections, but with the code baseline still to be confirmed.
