The factor referred to here is the one within the dialog box that is used to apply the wind loading. The generated wind load is multiplied by the factor. If you refer to the word document attached by Dave Jason Narca, you will see it.

For wind load generation in STAAD.Pro using the open structure option, the uniform wind load calculated on any member is based on the width of that member resisting the wind. The wind load generation does not consider any shielding effect when it generates the load on members on the leeward side. If you are changing the member size for members on the leeward side, the loading would be modified by the software to adjust to the new section dimension but it would NOT depend on the dimensions of the members on the windward side. To achieve what you are looking for, you would have to adjust the factor.
