Round Lake 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 Round Lake on this site, so Google Maps supplies the 7 ranked names you see below. Checked October 2026.

What zone 5A means for a Round Lake window
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN runs a January average near 21°F and climbs to about 72°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 6,875 heating degree days most winters, with 693 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Round Lake, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Round Lake's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
