What zone 2A means for a Garden City window
Savannah, GA runs a January average near 51°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 1,675 heating degree days most winters, with 2,596 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Garden City, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 2A's requirement is the floor; Garden City's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
