This Standard sets out data and procedures for determining design wind speeds and wind loads for housing only. Wind speeds are specified for the serviceability and ultimate strength/stability limit states, and for permissible stress design. Where houses do not comply with the limitations of this Standard, AS 1170.2 should be used.
