What zone 5B means for a Salt Lake City window
Salt Lake City-Murray, UT runs a January average near 34°F and climbs to about 81°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,724 heating degree days most winters, with 1,402 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Salt Lake City, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5B's requirement is the floor; Salt Lake City's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
