Indianapolis's climate zone, in plain terms
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Indianapolis, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Indianapolis's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

What FEMA's risk data says about Indianapolis
FEMA rates Marion County's hurricane risk as Very Low and its wind risk as Very High.
Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Indianapolis home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Indianapolis, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.
- Hurricane
- Very Low
- Strong wind
- Very High
- Winter weather
- Relatively High
Data: FEMA, National Risk Index for Natural Hazards - County-level table, v1.20 (v1.20, December 2025).
