Note:

1.The wind loads presented do not contain load or safety factors. The loads are
to be applied to the building's cladding system in the same manner as would wind
loads calculated by building code analytical methods.
2. For the design of balcony guardrails, it is recommended that a net wind load of
+/- 2.5 kPa be considered except for the balconies highlighted in Figure 22. A5
