Lake Ridge's climate zone, in plain terms
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV runs a January average near 33°F and climbs to about 78°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,707 heating degree days most winters, with 1,270 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Lake Ridge, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Lake Ridge's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
