Winde app
With the Winde app, you can get design wind pressure estimates for Zones 4 and 5 (positive and negative). Using the tool, you can quickly calculate:
- Wind speeds
- Window or door design pressure
- Project-specific window or door design pressures
Plus, print or email the results, including all the assumptions and inputs used for the calculation. All design pressures are estimates and should be verified with a local building code official.
