Application 1: 
Method for calculating net wind load on a building as a whole using the specified wind pressures and suctions on exterior surfaces of the building determined in Sentence 4.1.7.1.(1).
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] that are required to be designed in accordance with the requirements of Part 4.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the calculation of net wind load on a building will not take into account how windward and leeward pressures or suctions on building surfaces act to produce forces in the building structure, which could lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
