What zone 4A means for a North Castle window
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 30°F and climbs to about 74°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,492 heating degree days most winters, with 787 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in North Castle, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; North Castle's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
