Awning windows and Staunton's climate
Staunton sits in the ENERGY STAR North-Central zone (IECC zone 4A (mixed, moist), Staunton City), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.25) to keep heat in.
A awning closes against a compression seal — the tightest of any operable window. In the North-Central zone's cold winters, where air leakage drives heating loss, that seal is a real advantage.

Rebates & incentives in Virginia
The federal window tax credit (25C) ended for projects placed in service after December 31, 2025. 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.
Virginia's Home Energy Rebates are administered by Virginia Energy (the State Energy Office), which has roughly $188 million allocated across the HOMES and HEAR tracks but had not launched either program as of mid-2026 — the office was still revising its application to conform to updated U.S. Department of Energy guidance and awaiting federal approval, with no committed launch date. When it does open, windows would qualify only under the whole-home HOMES track, where the rebate scales with modeled energy savings rather than as a standalone window incentive. Confirm current status before relying on this, as the timeline has repeatedly slipped. See our Staunton guide for the full program list.
