What zone 4B means for a Pahrump window
Pahrump, NV runs a January average near 43°F and climbs to about 85°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 3,078 heating degree days most winters, with 2,129 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Pahrump, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4B's requirement is the floor; Pahrump's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
