Table 5.1(B) — Internal pressure coefficients (Cp,i) for buildings with openings greater than
0.5 % of the area of the corresponding wall or roof
Ratio of area of
openings on one
surface to the sum
of the total open Largest opening on Largest opening on Largest opening on Largest opening on
area (including windward wall leeward wall side wall roof
permeability) of
other wall and roof
surfaces

6 or more Ka Kℓ Cp,e Ka Kℓ Cp,e Ka Kℓ Cp,e Ka Kℓ Cp,e
NOTE 1 Cp,e is the relevant external pressure coefficient at the location of the largest opening. For example,
in Column 2, Cp,e means the windward wall pressure coefficient obtained from Table 5.2(A); in Column 3, Cp,e
means the leeward wall pressure coefficient obtained from Table 5.2(B), in Column 5, Cp,e means the roof
pressure coefficient for that part of the roof containing the opening.
NOTE 2 Ka is the area reduction factor related to the total area of the opening(s), A, on the surface under
consideration treating the “tributary area” as the area of the opening. See Clause 5.4.2.
NOTE 3 Kℓ is the local pressure factor, based on the area and location of the opening on the surface under
consideration, treating the “Area, A” as the area of the opening. See Clause 5.4.4.
