What zone 4A means for a Tuckahoe window
Richmond, VA runs a January average near 38°F and climbs to about 78°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 3,957 heating degree days most winters, with 1,420 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Tuckahoe, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Tuckahoe's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
