What zone 4C means for a Salmon Creek window
Salmon Creek falls in IECC climate zone 4C, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Clark 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 Salmon Creek.
A Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
