There are many ways of gauging the relative heating and/or cooling needs of a building due to the local climate. However, a long-established metric is the "degree day"
The American Architectural Manufacturers Association updated a document describing a standardized test to evaluate heat build-up effects due to infrared exposure on fenestration products.
