Parameters:

Pressurization Zone Exhaust Calculations

Floor Area = 11450.00 ft2 (Area of floor calculated.)

Roof Area = 11450.00 ft2 (Area of roof calculated.)
Wall Area = 9820.00 ft2 (Area of wall calculated - Perimeter area.)
Exit Enclosure Area = 350.00 ft2 (Area of exits or stair walls calculated.)
Other Shaft Area = 25.00 ft2 (Area of other shafts calculated.)
Other Openings = 0.00 ft2 (Area of any other opening.)

Number of Doors:(1)
2
36" doors = 12 2.52 ft
42" doors = 0 0 ft2
2
48" doors = 2 0.514 ft

Pressure Difference = 0.05 w.c. (Minimum pressure difference required.)

Total Leakage Area = 24.46 (Total leakage area calculated above.)

Exhaust Rate = 14277.53 (Exhaust rate required to obtain minimum

pressure difference at barrier.)
