Wind load audits, prepared so your PE can seal faster.
ClearPath Wind turns any U.S. address into a reproducible ASCE 7 wind-pressure audit — velocity pressure, MWFRS, the full Components & Cladding table, and a per-opening design-pressure schedule — so windows, doors, and roof products can be specified with confidence before final sealing.

What an audit delivers
Every package cites its wind-speed source and walks through the math. Here is the headline output for the Sample Wind Audit — a coastal, Wind-Borne Debris Region site.
Site & building
- Jurisdiction
- AHJ resolved from project address
- Code basis
- 2021 IBC → ASCE 7-22
- Building plan
- 60.0 × 40.0 ft
- Mean roof height
- 20.0 ft
- Roof type
- Flat (θ = 0.0°)
Opening schedule — worst first
Required design pressure per opening. IMPACT = impact-rated glazing or approved shutters also required.
| ID | Location | Zone | Area | DP | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W02 | Corner window | Wall 5 | 18 sf | DP80 | Impact |
| W03 | Corner window | Wall 5 | 20 sf | DP80 | Impact |
| D01 | Large door opening | Wall 4 | 96 sf | DP65 | Impact |
Full package tabulates all openings plus the complete C&C and MWFRS tables and a worked interpolation appendix.
How it works
- 1
Enter the site address
We geocode the address, resolve the local AHJ, and flag ASCE 7-22 Special Wind Regions automatically.
- 2
Pull ASCE hazard data
Use the address to pull V from the server-side ASCE Hazard Tool API extractor, with API-sourced audit history available for repeat runs.
- 3
Run the ASCE 7-22 math
Velocity pressure, MWFRS by direction, the full C&C table, and a per-opening design-pressure schedule sorted worst-first.
- 4
Hand off a PE-ready package
A reproducible, auditable PDF with a verification checklist and seal block so the engineer of record can review and seal faster.
What this is
A preliminary wind load audit prepared as a pre-check input to the project's licensed Professional Engineer of record. Its purpose is to accelerate PE review and product selection by presenting the ASCE 7-22 calculation in a reproducible, auditable format.
What this is not
This is not stamped engineering. ClearPath Wind is not the engineer of record. Final pressures, opening protection, and product selections are subject to PE seal and AHJ approval — use this package to accelerate review, not to replace it.
