Wind Design (Non-HVHZ)

Most of the USA other than coastal regions and some states have a minimum design wind speed of 80-mph. The PDF links below were selected due to being commonly requested by building departments, and more will be added as they are required. All calculations use ASCE 7.05 which applies a design safety factor of 2 to tested results.

Identify the Metro panel profile installation method (BATTEN or BATTEN-LESS) then select the appropriate link below and print off for submittal to the building department with your permit application.
