Lakewood's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
Lakewood sits in IECC climate zone 5B, which sets the energy-performance bar here no matter who ends up installing your windows. A window license file doesn't cover Lakewood on this site, so Google Maps supplies the 10 ranked names you see below. Checked October 2026.

5BIECC climate zone · ENERGY STAR Northern zone
Lakewood's climate zone, in plain terms
Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO runs a January average near 33°F and climbs to about 73°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,914 heating degree days most winters, with 633 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Lakewood, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5B's requirement is the floor; Lakewood's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

What FEMA's risk data says about Lakewood
FEMA scores Jefferson County's winter-weather risk as Very High and its flood risk as Relatively High.
Winter risk in Lakewood weighs on U-factor and condensation resistance; flood risk weighs more on sill height and drainage detailing than on the glass package.
Treat these as two separate conversations with a Lakewood contractor, not one.
- Strong wind
- Relatively High
- Winter weather
- Very High

The order below weighs a Google rating against its review count, the same way this site weighs a U-factor against a brochure claim: on the number, not the name. Treat it as a rating, never as proof of a license, bond or HVHZ approval.
