East Lansing's climate zone, in plain terms
East Lansing falls in IECC climate zone 5A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Ingham 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 East Lansing.
A Lansing-East Lansing, MI contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
