What zone 4A means for a Manhattan window
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 34°F and climbs to about 78°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,553 heating degree days most winters, with 1,222 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Manhattan, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Manhattan's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
