Abstract
There is a great deal of information on wind design available but it tends to get technical rather quickly. This document highlights what's new in resources by taking the reader through two examples using sites in Denver and Atlanta. The Denver site is single story building on the grasslands east of the city and the Atlanta structure is a six story office building adjacent to Hartsfield International Airport.
