What zone 5A means for a West Haven window
West Haven falls in IECC climate zone 5A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups South Central Connecticut Planning Region into its Northern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in West Haven.
A New Haven, CT contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
