Staircase pressurization systems comprise MEP, ELV, and architectural elements. They are everyone’s and no one’s responsibility during construction and testing.

Staircase pressurization systems matter because they are:

• Life safety system
• Dedicated firefighting route
• Property protection system
• Require Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) signoff before occupancy

Design, construction, and commissioning staircase pressurization systems require domain knowledge, risk management, and ownership to ensure these systems are tested and handed over without delaying building occupancy. This presentation will take you through the design and construction Cx-related issues, plus review the framework for commissioning and handover. The presentation will take a “systems” approach and view commissioning through a risk management lens, i.e., beginning with the end in mind.

Following this seminar, you will have a clear overview of staircase pressurization systems from design Cx issues to AHJ signoff to facilities management best practices on continuing systems commissioning.
