Stairwell pressurization systems are a critical life safety component, designed to maintain smoke-free egress paths during a fire event. This presentation will walk through the test and balance (TAB) process for stairwell pressurization systems following NFPA 92 and NFPA 101 guidelines. Attendees will gain insight into how to evaluate fan performance, verify relief damper function, and perform floor-to-floor differential pressure testing—including smoke evacuation scenarios on the fire alarm floor.
From fan curve analysis and pressure measurements to door force testing and integrated alarm sequences, this session provides a practical roadmap for TAB professionals and engineers to ensure code-compliant and functional systems. Real-world lessons learned from past projects will be shared, highlighting the importance of early coordination, accurate fan sizing, and system readiness.
This session will emphasize actionable diagnostics, testing procedures, and common field pitfalls—equipping attendees with the knowledge to validate performance, communicate with engineers, and deliver effective, reliable results under challenging site conditions.
