For a low-rise building, what specific exposure category and topographic factor would be applied if the building is situated on a hill within a densely suburban area?

For a low-rise building situated on a hill within a densely suburban area, the specific exposure category applied would be Exposure Category B, and a Topographic Factor (Kzt) would be applied and calculated. Exposure Category defines the characteristics of the ground surface roughness over which wind flows to a building. These categories account for the effect of obstructions on the wind velocity profile. Exposure Category B is characterized by urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single-family dwellings or larger. A “densely suburban a....
