ENERGY STAR groups Fairfax County into its North-Central zone, the U-factor and SHGC target worth checking against any quote you get in Tysons.

What zone 4A means for a Tysons window
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV runs a January average near 33°F and climbs to about 75°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 4,931 heating degree days most winters, with 964 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Tysons, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Tysons's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

Storm and weather risk around Tysons
FEMA rates Fairfax County's hurricane risk as Relatively Moderate and its wind risk as Relatively High.
Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Tysons home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Tysons, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.

- Relatively Moderate
- Strong wind
