What zone 4C means for a Mill Creek window
Mill Creek falls in IECC climate zone 4C, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Snohomish County into its Northern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Mill Creek.
A Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
Data: U.S. EPA / DOE, ENERGY STAR, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Climate Zones by County/ZIP (Windows, Doors, and Skylights) (V7.0); Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE Building America), Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270) (2021 IECC), from the nearest NOAA station 4.5 mi away.
