Wind Engineering

Cladding and Structural Wind Loads

Delivering accurate, code-compliant wind load assessments for safer, more efficient building design.

Reliable Wind Load Analysis for Structures of All Types

At Gnobi Consulting Inc., we help structural engineers, architects, and design teams quantify wind effects on buildings and components so they can design safely and efficiently. Our wind engineering services support everything from early massing studies to detailed structural design and building department submissions.

Using advanced modelling techniques, code-based calculations, and interpretation of wind tunnel results, we ensure your development meets municipal, NBCC, and ASCE-7 requirements.

What We Provide

✔ Code-Based Wind Load Calculations

Using NBCC, ASCE-7, and local municipal requirements, we determine wind pressures for:

• Building façades

• Roof systems

• Exterior cladding

• Canopies and exposed structural elements

✔ Cladding & Component Pressure Assessments

We evaluate how wind interacts with:

• Curtain walls

• Roof assemblies

• Parapets & screens

• Balcony guards & architectural features

Deliverables include clear diagrams and pressure maps for direct use by your structural engineer.

✔ Interpretation of Wind Tunnel Data

For projects requiring physical wind tunnel tests, we interpret wind loads and explain their impact on:

• Structural systems

• Cladding attachment design

• Connection details

Why Wind Engineering Matters

Wind loads significantly influence how buildings behave. Proper assessment ensures:

• Structural safety and reliability

• Cost-efficient design (no over-building)

• Compliance with NBCC / ASCE-7

• Fewer delays during site plan or permit review
