Internal Pressure in Enclosed Bldg?
(OP)
I thought since Enclosed Building is enclosed there will be no internal pressure due to wind load, any body can explain in plain language why there is internal pressure due to wind if the building is completely sealed?
Thank you
Thank you

But the factor for a partially enclosed building is higher, so wind must play a role.

Maybe it has to do with regular pressure from air leakage. I do recall watching the attic access panel in my house lift up during a hurricane.
If the structure is absolutely, 100% sealed (a steel tank) then you can probably neglect it.
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Is that because you are afraid of a wall falling over, or you are afraid of microscopic nasties
