    This document summarizes the calculation of wind loads for a project according to EN 1991-4. It includes [1] determining the basic wind velocity based on site altitude and height above ground, [2] applying direction and season factors to get the basic wind velocity, [3] calculating air density and basic velocity pressure, and [4] using the basic velocity pressure and a factor from a figure to find the peak velocity pressure at a given height.
