What zone 5B means for a Grand Junction window
Grand Junction, CO runs a January average near 29°F and climbs to about 80°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,131 heating degree days most winters, with 1,374 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Grand Junction, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5B's requirement is the floor; Grand Junction's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
