Important revisions to the ASCE 7-22 wind load provisions that are covered in this guide include simplifications to external Component and Cladding (C&C) roof pressure coefficients for steep slope roofs, use of ASCE design wind speed maps that include terrain speedup effects, changes to the definition of the Wind-borne Debris Region, and deletion of the Simplified Procedures. Additional revisions to the ASCE 7-22 wind load provisions that are not covered by this guide include wind loads provisions for ground-mounted solar arrays, wind load provisions for elevated buildings (example included in the ASCE 7-22 commentary), and a new chapter dealing with tornado loads (see separate ASCE guide).
