Dear Experts,
I was wondering about NFPA and IBC requirement about Fire Dampers. Please consider inputs as:
- Building is High Rise Building
- There is Stairwell Pressurization considered.
- No any smoke exhaust considered at Fire zone.
- There are 2 Ventilation shaft one for exhaust and one outdoor air.

Question:
Do we need to place Fire and Smoke damper to each level at the shaft inlet ducts? Please indicate standard name if required?
Or is it enough to use Fusible link Fire damper to each level. (This fire damper can act as smoke barrier from fire level to other levels?)

Thanks in advance.
