Average level height : 4.7896 m
Floor Area : m2
Exterior building wall area per floor : 584.6 m2
Wall Tightness : 2 (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose, 4=Very Loose)
Stairwell wall area per floor : 111.12 m2
Wall Tightness : 2 (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose)
Elevator shaft walls : m2
Wall Tightness : (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose)
The area gap around each stairwell door : 0.024 m2

Distance from door knob to
edge of knob side of door : 75 mm
2. Assumptions:
The pressure difference between stairwell
and building at stairwell bottom : 12.4 Pa

Height limit below which satisfactory

pressuriation is possible = 92.7 m
5. Calculations:
Abo Flow area between the building and outside per floor = 0.099 m2
Asb Flow area between stairwell and the building per floor = 0.036 m2
B Pressure difference per height due to stack effect = 0.6869 Pa/m

Psb Pressure difference between stairwell top and the buildin = 151.81 Pa
5.a Simple stairwell pressurization:

Q Flow rate of the pressurization air = 12.736 m3/s (= 26986 cfm)
5.b Detailed stairwell pressurization:
In this system, an exterior stairwell door opens automatically upon system activation. In addition, the upper
two floors will be considered opened, while the others doors will be considered closed.
I. Opened doors section:

Pressure difference at the bottom of the section = 12.4 Pa
Pressure difference at the top of the section = 18.209 Pa
Flow factor = 3.2753 m/s
Open stairwell flow area = 1.0831 m2
Effective flow area = 0.099 m2
Flow rate from this section = 0.6483 m3/s (= 1374 cfm)
II. Closed doors section:

Pressure difference at the top of the section = 172 Pa
III. Exterior stairwell door:

Pressure difference at the exterior door
(~ at 1.5m height) = 15.078 Pa
Open exterior stairwell door effective flow area = 1.0831 m2
The total flow needed to pressurize the stairwell
