What zone 4C means for a Mount Vista window
Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA runs a January average near 39°F and climbs to about 65°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,295 heating degree days most winters, with 192 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Mount Vista, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4C's requirement is the floor; Mount Vista's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
