What zone 6A means for a New Brighton window
New Brighton falls in IECC climate zone 6A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Ramsey 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 New Brighton.
A Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
