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

What zone 5A means for a Crestwood window
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN runs a January average near 26°F and climbs to about 77°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,699 heating degree days most winters, with 1,161 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Crestwood, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Crestwood's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
