707.14.2 Enclosed Elevator Lobby Pressurization Alternative

2010 Building Code of NY > 7 Fire-Resistance-Rated Construction > 707 Shaft Enclosures > 707.14 Elevator, Dumbwaiter and Other Hoistways > 707.14.2 Enclosed Elevator Lobby Pressurization Alternative
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Where elevator hoistway pressurization is provided in lieu of required enclosed elevator lobbies, the pressurization system shall comply with this section.

707.14.2.1 Pressurization Requirements

Elevator hoistways shall be pressurized to maintain a minimum positive pressure of 0.04 inches of water column and a maximum positive pressure of 0.06 inches of water column with respect to adjacent occupied space on all floors. This pressure shall be measured at the midpoint of each hoistway door, with all ground floor level hoistway doors open and all other hoistway doors closed. The supply air intake shall be from an outside, uncontaminated source located a minimum distance of 20 feet (6096 mm) from any air exhaust system or outlet.

707.14.2.2 Ducts for System

Any duct system that is part of the pressurization system shall be protected with the same fire-resistance rating as required for the elevator shaft enclosure.

707.14.2.3 Fan System

The fan system provided for the pressurization system shall be as required by this section.

707.14.2.3.1 Fire Resistance

When located within the building, the fan system that provides the pressurization shall be protected with the same fire-resistance rating required for the elevator shaft enclosure.

707.14.2.3.2 Smoke Detection

The fan system shall be equipped with a smoke detector that will automatically shut down the fan system when smoke is detected within the system.

707.14.2.3.3 Separate Systems

A separate fan system shall be used for each bank of elevators.

707.14.2.3.4 Fan Capacity

The supply fan shall either be adjustable with a capacity of at least 1,000 cfm (.4719 m 3 /s) per door, or that specified by a registered design professional to meet the requirements of a designed pressurization system.

707.14.2.4 Standby Power

The pressurization system shall be provided with standby power from the same source as other required emergency systems for the building.

707.14.2.5 Activation of Pressurization System

The elevator pressurization system shall be activated upon activation of the building fire alarm system or upon activation of the elevator lobby smoke detectors.
