Darien, IL Climate Specs + Top-Rated Window Installers
Darien 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 Darien on this site, so Google Maps supplies the 10 ranked names you see below. Checked October 2026.

5AIECC climate zone · ENERGY STAR Northern zone
Darien's climate zone, in plain terms
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Darien buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.
Data: U.S. EPA / DOE, ENERGY STAR, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Climate Zones by County/ZIP (Windows, Doors, and Skylights) (V7.0); Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE Building America), Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270) (2021 IECC), from the nearest NOAA station 6 mi away.
What FEMA's risk data says about Darien
DuPage County's hail risk sits at Relatively Low and its wildfire risk at Very Low, according to FEMA's National Risk Index.
Hail risk matters for glass and screen durability in Darien; wildfire risk matters more for the frame material and nearby vegetation than for the glass itself.
Either way, it's a reasonable question to bring to a Darien installer before you settle on a product line.
