Use the components and cladding portion of the wind provisions of the bldg code for a roof component.

To youngstrucutal: The load code is ASCE 7.
To SperlingPE: Why do you think we need contact the supplier? We are structural engineers. I think we need to find it out by ourselves using wind speed and building dimesions, etc.
To SteveGregory: what's code you refer? where are roof components? I can't find any roof component in Components and Cladding, ASCE 7.
Thanks for you guys' inputs.
