Morning, I was recently told by a plan reviewer that a window's wind pressure, which is in the center of a building in Miami Beach, should be calculated using a zone 5 multiplier. I would like to know if there is any reasoning behind this, which I am missing?
I have no problem running the design pressure Calc under a zone 5 scenario, but I am also concerned at the plan reviewer'comments.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
