High wind zone certificates
Many parts of the world face storms and, as part of this, areas are often categorized into zones defined by the wind speed they are exposed to.
A low wind zone could face wind speeds of 32 m/s, for example, whereas a very high or extra high wind zone may be exposed to storm winds of 50 or 55 m/s.
Among other factors, a building's wind zone or exposure to storms is generally determined by the site's topography, and whether it is situated in an urban, coastal, or forested area. The correct windows or doors are then of high importance for such locations.
