(b) A staircase pressurization system is adopted in a commercial building with designated floors (G/F,1/F to 29/F & R/F) at Wan Chai. The design pressure with all doors closed and all over pressure relief systems in operation shall be 50 Pa minimum in accordance with BS5588 Part 4. The typical floor plan of escape doors and details of the doors are shown in Figure Q5.3, Table Q5.1 and Table Q5.2 respectively. It is assumed that there is no natural ventilation at staircase and the headroom of each floor is at the height 3.2 m .
(i) Determine the total air leakage across remaining doors.
(4 marks)
(ii) Determine the design air supply flow rate for the pressurization system.
(5 marks)
(iii) State the multiple injection requirements with air supply and estimate the minimum number of injection points.
