High Point's climate zone, in plain terms
Greensboro-High Point, NC runs a January average near 42°F and climbs to about 79°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 3,120 heating degree days most winters, with 1,711 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in High Point, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3A's requirement is the floor; High Point's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
