Hi,

I am relatively new to Mech. Smoke Control Design and i was hoping someone could help me understand this application better.

I have a room with 518 cubic meter volume. The requirement for zone pressurization system within this building is to maintain this room with a positive pressure not less than 20 pascals higher with respect to outside conditions.

Could someone please advice if it is possible to mathematically calculate the exact volume of outdoor air required to be supplied and extracted whilst maintaining the said pressure condition.

would appreciate your help/advise.

Thanks
Daniel

Before you can calculate that, you have to know the leakage on the room.
