What zone 5A means for a Pewaukee window
Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI runs a January average near 20°F and climbs to about 71°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 7,243 heating degree days most winters, with 577 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Pewaukee, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Pewaukee's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
