IRC Component and Cladding Wind Pressure

IRC Component and Cladding Wind Pressure

IRC Component and Cladding Wind Pressure

(OP)
What are the rules about Component and Cladding wind pressures when designing a single family residence?  I'm designing the MWFRS per IBC pressures, but do I return to the IRC for the component and cladding pressures?  IRC is showing fastest mile wind speeds and its not clear how to direct the window/door/roofing guys.

RE: IRC Component and Cladding Wind Pressure

Try R301.2.1.3 Wind speed conversion.  There is a table that converts between fastest mile and 3 second gust.
