• The building has 2 stair enclosures and 1 elevator enclosures. Stair A, Stair B and Elevator 1
& 2 which extends down from roof level down to level P1. Stair 1 discharges at Level P! and
Stair A discharges at Level P1
• The reason for this building requiring stairwell and elevator pressurization is due to utilizing
five levels of type VA construction in -lieu of 4 levels of type VA construction without
pressurization in addition to complying with COE ordinances.
• The intent is to pressurize the stair enclosure with outside air to a pressure differential of
+0.10" in-wc higher than the adjacent areas where smoke may exist. However, over
pressurization exceeding 0.35" in-wc shall be avoided in order to maximize the doorknob
force to 30 Lbf for the occupants to be able to open the doors. However, over pressurization
exceeding 0.25" in-wc shall be avoided in order to maintain pressure differences between
the shaft and corridor/lobby.
The intent is to pressurize the two stairwells and one elevator shaft enclosure with outside
air to a pressure minimum differential of +0.10" in-wc higher than the adjacent areas where
smoke may exist.
• The smoke control system is a combined system requiring that other systems required for
maintenance of this smoke control are being properly designed, installed, maintained and
activated when needed. The successful operation of this system is best accomplished by
other systems such as fire sprinklers, fire alarm and detection system to function properly
along with the fire ratings of structure within their required time ratings and the electrical
power that energizes the pressurization fans.
• The above pressure differential control for smoke migration will be accomplished via the
smoke control system initiation starting upon any fire alarm condition as controlled per the
FA matrix.
• The building was modeled through CONTAM Computer Simulation Modeling in order to
evaluate the performance of the building under assumed design conditions. The analysis
shows that the proposed air flow rates used for pressurization of the stair shafts are
adequate to maintain the desired pressure differences considering the; stack effect, fire
temperature, HVAC system, wind effect, duration of operation and the climatic conditions at
the time of fire.
10. Basis of Design
• The Proposed Smoke control and smoke management systems shall comply with IBC/IFC
Section 909 and generally accepted and well -established principles of engineering as
required by IBC Section 909.2 including but not limited to:
o Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering Book by ASHRAE, 2012 by John H.

• The pressurization design is based on pressure differential between the shaft and the
adjacent spaces of each floor.
• The CONTAM simulation was used utilizing the building leakage factors as recommended in
Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering Book along with other factors for wind, stack
effect, HVAC and climatic conditions.
• The pressurization system will have a secondary emergency generator power per IBC and
City of Edmond's.
11. Pressurization Systems
• One pressurization fan for Stair A, fan on roof
• One pressurization fan for Stair B fan on roof.
• One pressurization fan for Elevator 1 & 2.
• Smoke detectors for stair pressurization fan activation will be located outside the shaft
and/or if not feasible then it will be inside stairwell within 5 feet of each entry door.
• Pressurization starts upon any fire alarm condition including pull stations.
• Doors to have optional adjustable sweeps for balancing.
XIV. Rational Analysis
1. Introduction
The network building flow model, CONTAM 3.2.02, was used for simulating the performance of
this proposed smoke control system. CONTAM is a product of the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology. The analysis of this report shows that the pressurized stairwells of
this project are capable of being balanced to meet the pressure differences required by the
code.
All calculations have been performed based on Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering-2012
edition (AHSRAE, ICC, SPFE, NFPA) as noted in the reference section below. The calculations
have been summarized and shown below.
2. Basis of Study
This study is based on the other life safety systems being maintained, available and operational.
It is understood that this facility will be completely protect by sprinklers. The smoke control
system assumes at minimum that the automatic sprinklers and fire detection/alarm system will
function as designed and that the fire resistive construction will be maintained in the building.
The actual leakage areas for the various construction elements in the constructed building are
assumed to be at least as tight as those listed in the reference section below.
The analysis presented in this report is based on the Architectural Set available at the time of
issuance of this report for this site. Any changes to the final plans for this project need to be
evaluated to determine if the analysis presented here is still applicable.

3. Smoke Control System
The smoke control system consists of pressurized Stairwells A and B and Elevator 1 & 2.
4. Pressure Differences
Stairs: IBC section 909.20.5 requires the pressurized stairwells to be pressurized to not less than
0.10 inch of water and not more than 0.35 inches of water. Elevator shaft to be pressurized to
not less than 0.10 inch of water and not more than 0.25 inches of water.
5. Stack Effect
The stack effect was calculated based on the total height of stairs as shown on each table
utilizing the floor by floor height multiplied by the number of floors in feet.
Considering the stairwells at the building temperature is conservative in that it increases the
impact of stack effect on the stairwells. For taller and/or more complex buildings, the added
complexity of determining stairwell temperature from the supply air temperature is often
justified, but this is not deemed to be necessary for this building with less than 75 feet travel
height.
6. Temperature Effect of Fire:
Temperature effect of fire usually is included based on the formula per figure-4-12.4 of the
referenced Handbook noted above and used inside the table provided by the referenced Smoke
Handbook. However, the CONTAM program utilizes the required factors needed in order to
satisfy the requirement of IBC-909.4.2 to avoid the impact from buoyancy of fire impacting the
desired capabilities of smoke control system. The results have shown that the required airflows
inside the shaft will create the desired pressure differential to offset temperature effect of the
fire to avoid smoke migration into the shaft.
7. Wind Effect:
The wind may have adverse effect on stairs with exterior walls to impact the required air flow to
maintain the desired pressure differential. IBC-909.4.3 requires that the wind factor be
incorporated into the calculations for the required air flows. The wind directions and speeds
have been accounted for prevailing south/southwest wind for City of Edmonds averaging about
18 MPH.
8. HVAC System:
This building is not a high rise and the HVAC system is not a part of floor zoned smoke control
and the HVAC will be turned off only when they locally and individually detecting smoke. (Also,
the building freeze protection and restart of HVAC equipment during those periods will need to
be evaluated if that approach had been used).
This design and analysis are not based on automatic HVAC shut down during fire mode. There
are no plans to control the HVAC during a fire mode.

9. Climate:
The building temperature including stairwells for the CONTAM simulations was 70 'F. The
stairwells and elevator are pressurized with untreated outdoor air, and the stairwells are
expected to range between the building temperature and the outdoor temperature.
The climatic data for this building is listed below. This data is from the Handbook of Smoke
Control Engineering (Klote et al. 2012) for Seattle International Airport, and it is consistent with
the recommendations NFPA 92.
o Standard Atmospheric Pressure - 14.54 psi
o Winter Design Temperature - 24 °F
o Summer Design Temperature - 86.0 °F
o Design Wind Speed - 18 mph
o Note: The design wind speed is not used for this project, but it is included for
completeness.
10. CONTAM Fluid Dynamic Computerized Analysis
The computer network model CONTAM was used for analysis of the smoke control system of
this project. CONTAM is public domain software that was produced by the U. S. National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This software was primarily developed for indoor
air quality applications, but it is probably the most extensively used software in the world for
analysis of pressurization smoke control systems. The program calculates the steady state flows
and pressures throughout a building network including effects of (1) forced airflow, (2) indoor to
outdoor temperature differences, and (3) wind. The program is also capable of simulating the
contaminant flow, but this feature was not used for this project.
When a smoke detector in the elevator lobby goes into alarm along with per other fire alarm
events per the event matrix, the elevator is put into phase II which consists of the elevator cars
being recalled to the ground floor and the elevator doors are open on that floor. Further, when
the fire service arrives to fight a fire, the exterior ground floor doors are typically blocked open.
For the CONTAM analysis, the ground floor (Level P1) elevator doors are open

XV. Testing, Adjusting, Balancing & Commissioning of Smoke Control
System
1. Introduction
The intent of this smoke control system is to provide a safe path of exit for evacuation of all
occupants to the outside during fire conditions. This shall be accomplished by pressurizing the
means of egress stairways along with the elevator shaft. The smoke control system shall be
tested, adjusted, balanced and accepted per the City of Edmonds for Smoke Control Standard
for operational testing, acceptance testing and periodical testing. See section — XIII below for
3rd Party Inspection.
2. Testing, Adjusting, Balancing and Commissioning
a. General
• With all stair doors and elevator doors closed measure pressure differences across
each stair door per national standard methods.
• The test shall be at the location where stack effect is maximum based on ambient
conditions.
• The measured conditions shall be minimum 0.10 in-wc and not to exceed 0.35 in-
wc across the stair door between the pressurized and non -pressurized adjacent
space on same floor. The measured conditions shall be minimum 0.10 in-wc and
not to exceed 0.25 in-wc across the elevator door between the pressurized and
non -pressurized adjacent space on same floor
• The smoke control shall be tested for
o Normal mode
o First alarm (automatic)
o Manual override of normal
o Automatic modes and return to normal
• The stairway door opening forces exerted to doorknobs shall be tested to assure
Compliance with IBC-100-8-1.3 during pressurized modes not exceeding 30 Lbf.
b. Conceptual Testing Criteria
Conduct an acceptance test of the smoke control system after the installation is
complete. Test each component of each system. A final test of the smoke control
system shall be performed by the Contractor prior to building occupancy.
The test is to be conducted in the presence of, and to the satisfaction of, City of
Edmonds Fire Department, Bureau of Buildings Inspection division and the 3rd party
special inspector (the Engineer may attend if deemed to be necessary), date and time of
tests shall be scheduled by the Contractor. The final test report is to be signed by the
Owner's representatives, Fire Department, and The Building Department. Correct any
deficiencies discovered during testing and retest system. A copy of final report shall be
submitted to the Owner, Architect and Engineer. Operational test shall verify that all
equipment is functioning properly. The fire alarm system must receive the appropriate

input signals from the detection devices and transmit the correct output signal to the
smoke control system. Verify the following:
1. Each element that activates the smoke control system does so. See Alarm Zone
Event Matrix that will need to be followed for testing compliance.
2. Monitor the fire control panel to determine if the proper zone and device type
alarm is received and enunciated.
3. Monitor the equipment of the smoke control system to determine if the
appropriate start/stop and positioning functions are performed.
4. Activate the manual controls at the fire control panel and verify proper
operations.
5. Capacity test shall verify that all equipment that comprises the smoke control
system is moving the proper airflow quantities. A digital manometer shall be
used to measure the airflow pressures.
6. SMOKE AREA: Level-1 main lobby shall be considered the zone that will
require protection of migration of smoke to stairways. During any fire condition
the two stairs shall be pressurized as smoke zones separated by positive
pressure from the rest of the building.
7. Combination smoke/fire dampers are located at all shaft enclosures, rated wall
penetrations, etc. as described and required per COE and City of Edmonds Fire
Department Smoke Control Standards.
8. It should be noted that during commissioning, the flow rates of these systems
will be adjusted so that they will produce acceptable pressure differences. This
commissioning needs to be done under conditions as would be expected during
a fire:
a) With all smoke control systems operating.
b) And, with elevator cars recalled to the ground floor.
c. Smoke Control Equipment
The 3rd. Party special inspector will witness testing of all smoke control equipment and
related accessories per the IBC-909.18 to demonstrate compliance with the required
guidelines.
All equipment will be successfully tested and commissioned to provide the
pressure differential required at required smoke zones.
Airflows CFM, RPM, Velocities, Voltage, Amps, proper rotations, number of
belts, proper sheaves, proper setting of VFD's shall be determined and
measured per the IBC 909 and per NEBB standard Criteria as referenced in this
report and per City of Edmonds.
