Burton's climate zone, in plain terms
Burton falls in IECC climate zone 5A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Genesee County into its Northern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Burton.
A Flint, MI contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
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 4.8 mi away.

Either way, it's a reasonable question to bring to a Burton installer before you settle on a product line.
