New values for mean annual minimum temperatures significantly impact air density calculations, resulting in more accurate (and often higher) design wind speeds.
The manual uses a specific formula to determine the wind speed a structure must be designed to resist:
The published by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) is the definitive technical guide for structural wind engineering in Mexico. This 514-page document provides the rigorous mathematical and empirical frameworks necessary to ensure that infrastructure—from simple warehouses to complex power plants—can withstand aerodynamic forces.

The 2020 update introduced several critical changes compared to the previous 2008 version to account for climate change and better data collection:
Structures are categorized into four groups ( A+, A, B, C ) based on their importance and the risk associated with their failure (e.g., nuclear plants vs. temporary sheds). temporary sheds)
The primary goal of the CFE 2020 manual is to establish uniform criteria for calculating wind loads on structures across Mexico, a country with diverse wind climates including hurricane-prone coasts and high-altitude plateaus. Unlike many local building codes that are city-specific, the CFE manual offers a national standard often adopted by municipalities that lack their own specialized regulations.
