Height	a scalar describing the building’s mean roof height in feet	ASCE 7-05: the standard used to determine the design loads on a building. Loading Zones: ASCE 7-05 divides the roof and walls of a building into different loading zones. The pressure loading varies throughout the building because as the wind flows through the body it behaves differently from zone to zone. The zones are 1, 2, and 3 on the roof and 4 and 5 on the wall faces; zone 3 has the strongest loads but is the smallest zone, zones 2 and 5 have the medium loads and are the 2nd largest zones, while zones 1 and 4 have the weakest loads and are the largest zones. The different loading zones are shown in Figure 1: “ASCE 7-05 ‘a’ dimension and loading zones”. a: the dimension that specifies the size and locations of the loading zones. ‘a’ is a function of the building’s dimensions.

Sheathing Panels: The panels that are placed on the studs to cover the frame (skeleton of the building) are called sheathing panels. Common construction practices indicate that 4 ft. wide by 8 ft., 9 ft., or 10 ft. long plywood sheathing panels are available. It will be assumed that the panels are placed vertically and side by side (with the 4 ft. dimension horizontally).

Main Story Height: the space between the top of the floor slab and the ring beam supporting the slab of the floor above created by placing sheathing panels vertically and side by side (with the 4 ft. dimension horizontally). Construction techniques usually put a ring beam at the bottom of the joists to support the floor slabs.

Inner Story Height: the space between the ring beam and the top of the floor slab; the sheathing panels are also placed with the 4 ft. dimension horizontally in this area.

The “Main and Inner Story Heights” can actually be anything the user inputs, however the program will assume that the sheets used are 4 ft. wide by “Main Story Height” or “Inner Story Height”, depending on the location of the sheathing panel. The 4 ft. by 8 ft., 9 ft., or 10 ft. plywood sheathing panels are not the only ones commercially available, they are simply more common, thus in this function any size of plywood panels could be used. However, the width of the sheathing panels has been set to 4 ft. The wall cover sections simply go on the sheathing panels.

Height_Bldg	A scalar describing the building’s mean roof height in feet	ASCE 7-05: the standard used to determine the design loads on a building. Loading Zones: ASCE 7-05 divides the roof and walls of a building into different loading zones.

The zones are 1, 2, and 3 on the roof and 4 and 5 on the wall faces; zone 3 has the strongest loads but is the smallest zone, zones 2 and 5 have the medium loads and are the 2nd largest zones, while zones 1 and 4 have the weakest loads and are the largest zones. The different loading zones are shown in Figure 1: “ASCE 7-05 ‘a’ dimension and loading zones”. a: the dimension that specifies the size and locations of the loading zones. ‘a’ is a function of the building’s dimensions.

Although there are a variety of configurations for storm shutters (Storm Panels, Hurricane Screens, Accordion Shutters, Bahamas Shutters, Colonial Shutters, and Rolling Shutters, among others) the model only considers shutter’s material when determining the capacity correction factor. Impact Resistance: the degree to which a material used to make a glazed component is resistant to windborne debris impact. PFactor: an internal variable of this function; the shutter protection factor, it could be 1.00, 1.15, 1.25, or 1.50 depending on the type of protection present. PFactor accounts for the added resistance of some physical exterior protection installed over the glazed opening (i.e. a shutter) MFactor: an internal variable of this function; the material’s resistance factor, could be 1.00, 1.50, or 2.00 depending on the material’s impact resistance. MFactor accounts for the added resistance of the window material itself, separate from any exterior physical protective shutter
ImpactResistance	A string array describing the type of impact resistance that the glazed components have, it can be ‘Normal Windows’, ‘Laminated Windows’ or ‘Impact Resistant Windows’. Determines the MFactor
Output Variables	Description

Factors are produced for the all three opening components, including window, sliding doors and entry doors
