Building Openings: [CL: 4.1.7.1]
Category 1: Uniformly distributed small openings amounting to less than 0.1% of the total surface area of the building.

Category 2: Non-uniformly distributed openings of which none is significant or significant openings that are wind-resistant and closed during storms.

Category 3: Large openings likely to remain open during storms.

For cladding on parapets use Category 3.

info
End-zone width z is the length along the gable and is the lesser of 10% of the least horizontal dimension or 40% of the eave height, H, but not less than 4% of the least horizontal dimension or 1m
End-zone width y is along the side wall and should be the greater of 6m or 2z
If either length is blank end-zone widths will not be computed
