Stairwell pressurization is a critical safety feature in building design that ensures that stairs remain smoke-free during a fire emergency, providing occupants with a safe escape route and allowing firefighters to reach different floors without obstruction.
Precise calculation of airflow rates, leakage factors, and pressure differences between stairwells and adjacent areas is essential to maintain proper pressurization.
