Wind tunnel tests are used to predict the wind loads and responses of a structure, structural components, and cladding to a variety of wind conditions. This Standard includes commentary that elaborates on the background and application of the requirements. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003esimulation of wind in boundary-layer wind tunnels; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003elocal and area-averaged winds loads; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eoverall wind effects; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eaeroelastically active structures; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eextreme wind climate; and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esnow load model studies. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe requirements outlined in this Standard satisfy requirements for wind tunnel testing set out in \u003cem\u003eMinimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures\u003c\/em\u003e, Standard ASCE\/SEI 7.
