    SPV BUILDING SMOKE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    Stair Pressurization Calculations: Ref: ASHRAE Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering by Klote and Milke

    (A) BUILDING DATA & ASSUMPTIONS NOTES


    SPV Building Length 36.6 m (120 ft)
    SPV Building Width 36.0 m (118 feet) The lowest expected exterior temperature
    SPV Building Floor Height 4.5 m (15 ft) (5 deg C) is used for a conservative design.
    SPV Building Number of Floors 9
    SPV Building Stairwell Length 9.9 m (32 ft) This table assumes all air surrounding the
    SPV Building Stairwell Width 4.5 m (15 ft) stair is at exterior ambient temperature, as
    Stair/Building Construction UBC "Loose" an additional conservative measure.
    Stair/Exterior Construction UBC "Very Loose"
    Outside Temperature (Lowest) 5⁰C REFERENCE
    Stairwell Temperature 70⁰C

    Length of Stair/Building Interface LSB 32 ft.
    Length of Stair/Exterior Interface LSO 15 ft.
    Average Height between Floors h 15 ft.
    Number of Floors N 9
    Area of Stair/Exterior Wall per Floor ASO=LSB x h = 225 ft2
    Area of Stair/Building Wall per Floor ASB=LSB x h = 480 ft2
    Exterior Wall Leakage A/Aw A/AEW 0.001 "very loose" From UBC 905
    Wall Tightness A/Aw A/AW 0.00035 "loose"
    Door Leakage ALEAK 0.169 7' x 3' dimensions .08" top and side gaps
    & .25" bottom gap
    Flow Area from Stair to Building (A/AW x ASB)+ALEAK 0.337 floor by floor
    Flow Area from Stair to Exterior A/AEW x ASO 0.225 floor by floor

    Outside Temperature Tout 5 C, converted to R= 464.67
