Passaic's climate zone, in plain terms
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 33°F and climbs to about 78°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,735 heating degree days most winters, with 1,255 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Passaic, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Passaic's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
