North Arlington's climate zone, in plain terms
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 32°F and climbs to about 78°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,896 heating degree days most winters, with 1,219 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in North Arlington, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; North Arlington's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
