What zone 6B means for a Belgrade window
Bozeman, MT runs a January average near 21°F and climbs to about 67°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 8,245 heating degree days most winters, with 232 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Belgrade, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 6B's requirement is the floor; Belgrade's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
