Sliding patio doors and Greeley's climate
Greeley sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone (IECC zone 5B (cold, dry), Weld County), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.
A patio slider is mostly glass, so its glass package drives performance: in the Northern zone, low-E coatings and a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) matter more than the frame material.

If your windows were installed in 2025, you can still claim it on your 2025 return — but for new projects there is no federal window credit. State and utility programs are now the main source of window incentives.
Colorado runs live IRA Home Energy Rebate programs; whole-home efficiency retrofits (HOMES pathway) can include window replacement when part of a modeled energy-savings project. See our Greeley guide for the full program list.
