provide only the total wall area used in the calculation
Since the staircase door design, is to open to inside
3 staircase, the leakage area for single leaf door can be Complied
redused to 0.01 m2, refer to BS 5588-4-1998 appendix D
for the values
For leakage area through walls, we don't recommend to
use the figures listed in ASHRAE standards, the
STAIRCASE 4 calculation method should not mix two standards Complied

FANS CALCULATION 5588-4-1998 appendix D
FOR STAIRCASE 1
Since the building is fully protected by automatic sprinkler

Pa, however, we recommed the use of 50 Pa as required
by BS 5588
Submit Door opening calculation and ensure that the

The air flow used in the ESP calculations (18500 CFM) is

the air flow through ducts, fittings and air terminal and
revise the fan selection accordigly.

STAIRWELL PRESSURISATION CALCULATION - DOOR OPENING
FORCE (MOHANADI)
As per BS 5588-4:1998: The maximum pressure differential across a door opening into a pressurised
space is determined using the flooowing equation:

2(Fo - Fdc) x (W-D)


P =
AxW
Where
P is the pressure difference across the door (in Pa)
Fo is the force needed to open the door against the differential pressure

Fdc is the force required to open the door without a pressure differential applied across
the door. E.g. The door closer mechanism etc (in N)
W is the width of the door (in M)
A is the area of cross section of the door (in m2)
d is the distance from the door knob to the knob side of the door (in m)

If at design stage, the force required to overcome the door closer is unknown, a maximum pressure
differential of 60 Pa may be utilised for design purpose.

I STAIRCASE -01

P - 60 Pa
Fdc - Unknown, Hence P = 60 Pa
W - 1m
A - 1 x 2.2 = 2.2 m2
d - 0.1 m

Fo = (P x A x W)
2 x (W-d)

(60 x 2.2 x 1)
=
2 x (1 - 0.1)
73.33333 N

The permissible limit to door opening force as per BS 5588-4:1998 is 100N


Since the calculated value of Fo = 73.33 N is less than the permissible limit Relief Vents are not required
for this system

II STAIRCASE -02

P - 60 Pa
Fdc - Unknown, Hence P = 60 Pa
W - 1m
A - 1 x 2.2 = 2.2 m2
d - 0.1 m

Fo = (P x A x W)
2 x (W-d)

(60 x 2.2 x 1)
=
2 x (1 - 0.1)
73.33333 N

The permissible limit to door opening force as per BS 5588-4:1998 is 100N


Since the calculated value of Fo = 73.33 N is less than the permissible limit Relief Vents are not required
for this system
