What zone 5A means for a Wareham window
Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH runs a January average near 30°F and climbs to about 73°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,772 heating degree days most winters, with 608 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Wareham, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Wareham's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
