Good afternoon!
I am having trouble making sense of the reference height definitions for wind loads using NBC 2015.
If you are designing cladding and girts, would you simply take the height of the element above the ground, or would you refer to 6) a) & b) below?
What I am thinking is that part a) & b) apply only to overall building design and part c) would apply to girts, cladding and secondary elements.
Thank you!
