What zone 5A means for a Cuyahoga Falls window
Akron, OH runs a January average near 26°F and climbs to about 71°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 6,312 heating degree days most winters, with 601 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Cuyahoga Falls, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Cuyahoga Falls's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
