R301.2.1.4 Exposure B Category “Urban and suburban areas, wooded areas or other terrain with numerous closely spaced
single-family dwellings or larger. Exposure B shall be assumed unless the site meets the definition
R301.2.1.4 Exposure C Category
“Open terrain with scattered obstructions, including surface undulations or other irregularities, having heights generally less than 30 feet (9144 mm) extending more than 1,500 feet (457 m) from the building site in any quadrant. This exposure shall apply to any building located within Exposure B type terrain where the building is directly adjacent to open areas of Exposure C type terrain in any quadrant for a distance of more than 600 feet (183 m). This category includes flat, open country and grasslands.”
R301.2.1.4 Exposure D Category
“Flat, unobstructed areas exposed to wind flowing over open water, smooth mud flats, salt flats and unbroken ice for a distance of not less than 5,000 feet (1524 m) This exposure shall apply only to those buildings and other structures exposed to the wind coming from over the unobstructed area. Exposure D extends downwind from the edge
feet (183 m) or 20 times the height of the building or structure, whichever is greater.”
