    This document discusses elevator pressurization design for smoke control systems at the University of Dammam Girls Campus. It notes that per NFPA 92A, smoke control systems can utilize stairwell pressurization, zoned smoke control, elevator smoke control, vestibules, or smoke refuge areas. As the HVAC design uses stairwell pressurization and zoned smoke control, elevator pressurization is not required to avoid multiple interacting systems. NFPA 92A also lists methods for correcting stack effect and elevator pressurization, and notes the design applies exhaust of the fire floor and closing elevator doors after recall, as the buildings are low-rise.

    Design Note for Elevator Pressurization. 
    The design approach NFPA 92A, item 4.3 for smoke-control systems shall be one or a
    combination of the following:

    (1) Stairwell pressurization 
    (2) Zoned smoke control 
    (3) Elevator smoke control 
    (4) Vestibules 
    (5) Smoke refuge areas. 

    From the above it is mentioned that smoke control of a building can be one or a 
    combination of the all of them. From our HVAC point of view, we have applied items 
    number one and 2 where we have stair well pressurization and zoned smoke control as 
    indicated in the other attachments, therefore no need to apply the Elevator 
    pressurization as well to avoid having many interacting systems in the same tine in case 
    of fire. 

    In addition as per NFPA 92A, item A.5.4. Several methods of correcting the issue of stack effect 
    and elevator pressurization have been proposed and investigated. These methods include the 
    following: 

    (1) Exhaust of the fire floor 
    (2) Pressurization of enclosed elevator lobbies 
    (3) Construction of smoke‐tight elevator lobbies 
    (4) Pressurization of the elevator hoist way 
    (5) Closing of elevator doors after automatic recall 

    In our project we applied from the above number (1) as we have a dedicated smoke 
    extraction / exhaust from the fire floor in addition to that closing of elevator doors after 
    automatic recall can be considered during the programming of the elevators operation. 
    Taking into considerations that the buildings of the project are not high rise buildings, 
    they are all of the low rise ones since the maximum floor levels are 5 including the Roof 
    level.
