Low Rise Wind Loads Due to Note 8 for Positive CpCg Coefficients (Bug 2550)* corrected for Canadian references and terminology

Low-rise wind loads due to Note 8 of Structural Commentary Figure I-7, that specifies zone 3 loads on a portion of a zone 2 windward roof, were being generated for high angles with positive Zone 2 co-efficient CpCg when they should be limited to low angles with negative CpCg,. The resulting zone 3 loads have a negative coefficient that combined with the loads with a positive zone 2 coefficient to reduce the total load on the roof, creating non-conservative wind loading. This has been corrected.
