The site wind speed, , for each wind direction is tabulated below. Note that the default Terrain Category is Category 1 if not defined from the
UI.
The site wind speed for the selected direction β at the reference height (z) can be solved using the formula:

From these values, the at can be calculated based (using linear interpolation) on the angle between the orthogonal axis parallel to the
building length, , and True North equal to 0°. Take note that the design wind speed should not be less than 30 m/s and the maximum wind
speed for . Therefore:
