What zone 5A means for a South Fayette window
Pittsburgh, PA runs a January average near 29°F and climbs to about 73°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,572 heating degree days most winters, with 797 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in South Fayette, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; South Fayette's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
