Question: Consider a complex building in which there is a 3 - storey basement carpark ( 1 2 0 0 0 m 2 , 3 floors

Consider a complex building in which there is a 3-storey basement carpark (12000 m2,3 floors @5m(H)) and 25 floors @4m(H) of hotel above (30 guest rooms per floor along two perpendicular straight corridor without window openings). The basement carpark is required to install with a mechanical smoke extraction system, while the guest room floors with the staircase(s) should be installed with a staircase pressurization system and the internal means of escape with smoke extraction system.
Students may freely develop a building plan that can roughly represent this building design.
Based on the building configuration, develop a draft scheme of the staircase pressurization system and smoke extraction systems using the standards and requirements as given in the COP FSI. A very rough estimation of the capacity of the system will be required.
