it has one wall side fully opened 9.6x6=57.6m2
other openings in other walls = 9.6*2.1+4*2.1*2=40m2

If you're using ASCE 7, then look at the definitions of Open, Partially Open, Partially Enclosed, and Enclosed. These are in Chapter 26.

you may also need to see an ASCE publication about petrochem structures where there is specific coeff recommendation on the condition you mentioned.
