Engineer's pressures (best)

Use the structural engineer's components and cladding table off the general notes, the 10 SF column:

Inward (+)

The positive pressure.

Zone 4 (-), Zone 5 (-)

The suction in the field and at the corners.

The table's pressures are

Ultimate (most tables today: they're multiplied by 0.6 for the allowable stress check) or ASD when the notes say so.

Wind source

The sheet or note, so it's on the report.

ASCE 7 edition

ASCE 7-16 or ASCE 7-22, whichever the building code your jurisdiction adopted cites (the general notes usually say). It sets how a wind speed becomes pressures and the clauses the story drift check names.

The larger of inward and outward governs each zone. A table that starts above 10 SF is extended to 10 SF and flagged to check.

Tip. Type the pressures exactly as printed, and note the sheet. Areas written as 20 SF or more are extended down to 10 SF and flagged to check.

Wind speed (until the table is issued)

Wind speed, ultimate (mph)

The map speed for the building's risk category.

Exposure

B, C or D, from the general notes or the site.

Mean roof height, least building width

In feet. The corner zone width a is worked out from them, or type it.

Ground elevation

Above sea level, in feet, for sites at altitude.

Results on a wind speed are marked REGIONAL everywhere they appear, and the minimum 16 psf holds. Replace it with the engineer's table when it's issued.

The pressures follow the edition you pick, exactly as the book prints them. ASCE 7-22 changed the exposure constants (mostly felt in Exposure B) and moved the directionality factor into the pressure equation; the wall coefficients and the corner zone width are the same in both. ASCE 7-22's tornado loads (Risk Category III and IV in tornado-prone regions) aren't in a wind-speed table, so the page asks you to check them with the engineer.
