In Alabama, the humid subtropical climate means we design ADUs to handle heat and humidity. This includes material choices and ventilation strategies to ensure comfort year-round. Building during milder spring and fall months can be more efficient, avoiding the extremes of summer heat and winter chill. Local building codes and zoning ordinances vary by municipality, particularly in cities like Montgomery and Mobile.
