Updates on ASCE 7 Standard for Solar PV Systems

ASCE 7-16 For PV SystemsChanges in ASCE 7-22Code Development IssuesInformational ResourcesThe 2016 edition of ASCE 7 has been in effect for about three years. It has three more years remaining before the standard is superseded by ASCE 7-22. ASCE 7-16 introduced substantial increases in the component and cladding pressure coefficients used to calculate wind pressure in various wind zones. This change had a big impact on rooftoSee more on sustainableenergyaction aimgroupinternational [PDF]
