S.NO. DESCRIPTION
Width (m) Height (m)
1 staircase door size 1.25 2.1
2 staircase door area 2.625 Sq.m.
3 Leakage area for staircase door( look at the table below) 0.01 Sq.m.
4 no.of doors per floor 1
5 StaircaseTravel i.e.numbers of floors 5
6 Effective leakage area through doors 0.040 Sq.m.
Total leakage through doors :Q(m3 /sec)=0.827XA(Effective Leakage Area)xP 1/N
(Pressure differential )i.e.
Index
7 0.23 m3 /sec
Q(m3 /sec)=0.827xAx(50)1/2……………(I)

8 Considering 50% extra as per BS 5588 STD 0.35 m3 /sec

Air flow through one open door considering a minimum egress velocity of 0.75 M/sec (Q=door area X velocity X
9 1.96875 m3 /sec
no. of open doors)…………(II)
10 Total air leakage (I+II) 2.32 m3 /sec
11 Total air required for pressurization 4918 CFM
Notes: 1) Leakage area for Staircase Door is based on BS 5588-PART 4.1998.
2) Differential pressure of 50Pa is based on NBC 2005 (Part 4 Fire and Life Safety) <Para C-1.5 Lifts (g)

INPUTS TO BE PROVIDED IN YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED CELLS ONLY
Notes: 1) Leakage area based on BS 5588-PART 4.1998.
Leakage area in sq.mtr
Single-leaf opening into a pressurized space 0.01
Single-leaf opening outwards from a pressurized space 0.02
Double-leaf 0.03
