What zone 3A means for a Bessemer window
Birmingham, AL runs a January average near 45°F and climbs to about 81°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 2,537 heating degree days most winters, with 2,100 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Bessemer, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3A's requirement is the floor; Bessemer's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
