NB: The Lower wind class is only relevant for pre-engineered structures designed to the AS1170 wind speed calculated above, and is therefore designed to a lower wind speed than the AS4055 classification of the site would require: the upper wind class shown above. (eg. An AS4055 classified N2 building is not suitable for a N3 site. But the AS1170 designed building is suitable for the AS1170 assessed site.)
