Enclosure Classification
Test for Enclosed Building: A building that does not qualify as open or partially enclosed.
Test for Open Building:
Ao 1.1Aoi
Ao > 4' / 0.01Ag
Aoi / Agi 0.20
Test
YES
NO
NO
Conditions to qualify as Partially Enclosed Building. Must satisfy all of the following:
Ao >= 1.1Aoi
Ao > smaller of 4' or 0.01 Ag
Aoi / Agi <= 0.20
Where:
Ao = the total area of openings in a wall that receives positive external pressure.
Ag = the gross area of that wall in which Ao is identified.
Aoi = the sum of the areas of openings in the building envelope (walls and roof) not including Ao.
Agi = the sum of the gross surface areas of the building envelope (walls and roof) not including Ag.
