Pressurized stairwells have been used increasingly in the past few years to provide smoke free escape routes. However, generally accepted and proven design procedures for these systems are not available. This paper provides a discussion of several of the designs currently in use. In particular, single and multiple injection systems are discussed. The factors affecting the performance of pressurized stairwells are discussed. A method of analyzing pressurized stairwells is developed for a simple building model, and example calculations using this method are provided.
