What zone 5A means for a East Fishkill window
Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh, NY runs a January average near 26°F and climbs to about 73°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,998 heating degree days most winters, with 716 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in East Fishkill, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; East Fishkill's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
