General
Services
Administration (GSA) and
the
National Institute of
Standards
and Technology
(NIST),
Bud Nelson
was
recognized
as
one
of
the great

HOW
TO USE
THIS BOOK
This book is organized in the
classic
handbook format
to
help
engineers
and other professionals who need to
get
information
about
a
topic
quickly.
The Table of Contents and the Index can be used
so
readers
can go
directly
to
their topic of interest. The handbook format
has
no introductory chapter, and the most fundamental material is in the rst
chapters
and applied material is in later
chapters.
To
help
readers get
information quickly,
the
chapters
do not include derivations of equations.
Unlike
textbooks,
some
redundancy is
needed
in handbooks
so
that the chap-
ters
can be relatively independent. This redundancy is minimized, and in
some
places
readers
are
referred
to
another section or chapter for more information. This book includes all the
information
in my earlier
smoke
con-
trol
books plus
a
number of other topics, and there
are
many example calculations. This handbook can
be
used
as
a
textbook
with
the
teacher
selecting the
chapters
and parts of
chapters
to
be
taught. The only departure
from
the handbook format is that derivations of equations
are
in an appendix included
to
make the book more useful to scholars,
teachers,
and
students.

PREFACE
In
1983,
ASHRAE published Design of
Smoke
Control
Systems
for
Buildings by John Fothergill and me. This book
was
the rst attempt to consolidate and
present
practical information
about smoke
control
design.
Judging by
the
many favorable
comments and
suggestions
about
this rst book, I feel that it
was
a
success.
The
rst publication
was
limited
to
systems
that control
smoke
by
means
of
the
physical
mechanisms
of pressurization
and
air
 
ow. In 1992, ASHRAE and
SFPE
jointly
published Design of
Smoke
Management
Systems
by
James
Milke
and me. The term
smoke
management
was
used
in
the
title
of this publication to indicate that
the
physical
mechanisms were expanded
from
pressurization and
air
 
ow
to include compartmentation,
dilution,
and
buoyancy.
Based
on heightened
concerns
about supplying combustion air to the re,
a
caution
was
added
about the
use
of
air
 
ow
for
smoke manage-
ment. 
In 2002, ASHRAE and
SFPE
jointly
published Principles of
Smoke
Management by
James
Milke
and me. This publication included the material of
the
two earlier books plus people movement in re, hazard analysis,
scale
model-
ing, and computational
uid
dynamics.
This new publication is in handbook form that is intended to make
the
book more useful to practicing
engineers.
The earlier books
were
aimed
at
both practicing
engineers
and
students,
and
derivations of
equations were
included in many of
the
chapters.
To
make
the
handbook
easier
to
use
for
engineers
who want information on
a
speci
 
c topic quickly, the derivations
are
not included in the
chapters.
However, to make
the
book useful to
students
and
teachers,
the
derivations
are
in
an
appendix. This new book
addresses
the
material of
the
earlier
books
plus (1) controls, (2) re and
smoke
control in
trans-
port tunnels, and
(3)
full
scale
re testing. For
those
getting
started
with
the
computer models
CONTAM
and CFAST,
there
are
simpli
 
ed instructions
with
examples.
As
with
the other
books, this new book is
primarily
intended for
designers,
but it is
expected
that it
will
be
of interest to other professionals (architects,
code
of
 
cials,
researchers,
etc.). In this book, the term
smoke
control
system
is used
to
mean an
engineered system
that includes all
methods
that
can
be
used
singly or in combination
to
modify
smoke
movement. This
usage
is
consistent
with
that of
the
2009
NFPA 92A, 2012 NFPA 92, and most
codes
including
the
International
Building
Code.
This
usage
is
a
departure
from
the
earlier ASHRAE
smoke
control books
and
earlier
versions
of NFPA 92A. The meaning of
the
term
smoke
man-
agement
system was
completely
changed
in
the
2009 NFPA 92A, and this term is almost
never used
in this handbook.
Because
these
terms have
different
meanings
in many publications,
readers
are
cautioned to
be
careful about this ter- minology when reading different books,
research papers,
and articles. This book and its
predecessors
are
different from other design books in
a
number of
respects.
This book is
writ-
ten in both English units (also called I-P for inch-pound) and SI units
so
that it can
be
used by
a
Wide
audience.
Phys- ical descriptions
are
worked into
the text
as
simple explanations of how particular
mechanisms,
processes
or
events
happen.
Many
example
calculations
are
included.
As
with
the
earlier book, I hope that this book is of value to
the
engineering community. Further, I invite
readers
to
mail
their
suggestions
and
comments
to me
at
the
address
below. John H.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
This project would not
have
been possible without
the support
of ASHRAE. In addition to publishing books
about smoke
control, ASHRAE
has
funded
a
considerable
body of
smoke
control
research
from
the
1980s
to the present
time. A
debt
is
owed
to my
coauthors:
James
A.
Milke,
Paul G. Tumbull, Ahmed Kashef,
and
Michael
J.
Ferreira. Each of them
has
authored
a chapter
or more, and they
have
provided valuable advice during
development
of this
handbook.
Acknowledgement is
made
to the
members
of
the
ASHRAE
Smoke
Control
Monitoring
Committee for their
generous
support
and constructive criticism. The
members
of this subcommittee
are:
William
A.
Webb
(Chair), Jeffrey
S.
Tubbs, and Douglas
Evans.
Gary D. Lougheed, Paul G. Tumbull, John A. Clark, John Breen, and W.
Stuart
Dols
also
provided constructive criticism. Special thanks
are
due to
Gary Lougheed for his
insightful
comments regarding
uid
ow, design res, and
full
scale
re testing. Paul Turnbull
made
valuable comments about
practically
every
aspect
of the book. John Clark provided
helpful
comments in
a
number of
areas.
John Breen, who is
a student at
the Department of Fire Protection Engineering
at
the
University
of Maryland, made valuable comments regarding the computer program
CONTAM.
W. Stuart
Dols,
who is in
charge
of the development of
CONTAM
at
NIST,
made
helpful
comments about
a
number of
aspects
of
CONTAM.
In addition to chairing the review subcommittee,
Bill
Webb
made practical comments on subjects in every chapter of the book. Acknowledgement must
be made
to the many
engineers
and
scientists
who
have
conducted the
research
that is
the
foundation of modem
smoke
control technology.
These researchers are
too many to mention here, but many of their efforts
are
referenced in the text. It should
be
mentioned that I personally
owe
much to
the
National Institute of
Standards
and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD for
the
opportunity of being
able
to
do re
research
there
for nineteen
years.
The content of this book is heavily
dependent
on
extensive smoke
control
research
conducted
at
the National
Research
Council of
Canada
(NRCC).
Much
of this
research
has
been
conducted
at
NRCC’S Experimental Fire
Tower
near 
Ottawa.

NOTE
ON
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability
has
attracted
considerable
attention in recent
years,
and
the
design of
green
buildings requires ingenuity and understanding of
the
technology. This handbook
does
not
explicitly
address
sustainability, but it can
be
thought of
as
a treatment
of sustainability to
the extent
that
designers
can
develop sustainable smoke
control
systems
based
on information provided herein. In
one
sense,
smoke
control
systems
can
be
thought of
as
sustainable
systems
in that they can minimize
the extent
of
smoke
damage
to
building
components
during res. However, the amount of materials
used
in
some
smoke
control
systems
can be
minimized or
even
eliminated. The
use
of natural
smoke
venting for
smoke
control in atria and other large volume
spaces
eliminates the
fans
and ductwork
used
in conventional
smoke
exhaust systems.
The only equipment
needed
for this
kind
of venting is
a
roof vent that
opens
in the
event
of
a
re. Natural
smoke
venting
has
been used for many
decades
in
the
United
Kingdom, Australia, and
Japan.
An algebraic equation in
Chapter
15
can
be
used
as
a
starting
point
for
analysis
of
a
natural venting
system.
Wind
effects
are
a
special concern
with
natural
smoke
venting,
and
these
systems
should
be
analyzed
with
computational
uid
dynamic (CFD) modeling (Chapter 20).
Smoke
lling
s
the
simplest form of
smoke
control for atria
and other
large volume
Spaces,
because
it eliminates
the
need for
any
equipment. This
approach consists
of allowing
smoke
to ll
the
large volume
space
Without
any smoke
exhaust
or
other smoke
removal. For very large
spaces,
the smoke
lling
time can
be
long enough for
evacua-
tion.
Smoke
lling
time can
be
calculated by
algebraic equations
or With
the
use
of computer models
as
discussed
in
Chapter 15.
It is
essential
that calculations of evacuation time include
the
times
needed
for recognition, validation,
and premovement
as
discussed
in
Chapter
4.
For
some
applications,
passive
smoke
control using
smoke
barriers
has
the
potential to
be used
in place of pres- surization
smoke
control
systems.
This can
reduce
or eliminate
the
fans
and ductwork 0f
the
pressurization
systems.
Such
systems
need
to
provide equivalent life-safety protection
as
that of
the
pressurization
systems.
The tenability of
such passive
systems
can be analyzed
with
CFD modeling or
with
a
combination of
CONTAM
and
zone
re model-
ing
as
discussed
in
Chapter
19.
Stairwell ventilation
systems
have
the potential
to
maintain tenability in stairwells
at
reduced fan capacity compared to stairwell pressurization. The idea of
these
ventilation
systems
is
to
supply air to and
exhaust
air
from
the stairwell
so
that any
smoke
leaking
into
the stairwell is diluted to maintain tenable conditions in the stairwell. The amount of air needed for stairwell pressurization is proportional to the number of oors
served
by the stair-
well,
but the amount of air needed for stairwell ventilation, is almost independent of the number of oors. This
means
that the
greatest savings
in fan capacity
are
for stairwells in very
tall
buildings. For stairwell
ventilation
the most important location is the landing of the re
oor,
and tenability here can be analyzed by CFD modeling
as
discussed
in Chapter 20. The
extent to
which
smoke
control
systems
can
be
more
sustainable
depends
on
the
ingenuity, creativity, and knowledge of
the
design
team.
Some
old
ideas
(such
as
smoke shafts
and
smoke
venting
with
exterior
wall
vents)
may
be 
reevaluated
and revised to
become
sustainable systems
or parts of
sustainable
systems.
It is
essential
that the alter-
nate smoke
control
systems
provide protection that is equivalent to that of conventional
systems.

CHAPTER
1 
Units
and
Properties
John H.
Klote
The international
system
(SI) of units is used for almost all applications outside
the
US.
and for many applications inside the
US.
In the U.S.,
a
collection of mostly old English units
are
used for many applications.
These
old style units
are
referred
to here
as
inch-pound (I-P) units. This
chapter
deals
with
units of
measure-
ment and physical properties.
DUAL
UNITS 
Most
equations
in this handbook
are
presented
in
dual units, but
exceptions
are
noted
at
the beginning of
some chapters.
The equation below for the Reynolds
number is an
example
of
these
dual units.
1.39
x103DhU

D

R = for SI

Where
Re
Reynolds number,
dimensionless,
Dh = hydraulic
diameter
of ow path, in. (m),
U
average
velocity in ow path, fpm (In/s),
v kinematic
Viscosity,
ftZ/s
(mZ/s).
This equation
consists
of an I-P version followed by an SI version. The “Where” list below the equation con- tains
the
variable
names,
followed by
the
I-P units
with
the
SI units in
parentheses.
For example,
the
I-P units of
average
velocity in ow path
are
fpm,
and the
SI units for this
variable
are
m/s. The I-P units
are
used
in
the
following
systems:
(1)
the
pound-mass
and pound-force 
system,
(2)
the
slug
and pound
system,
and (3) the
pound-mass and
poundal
system.
Each version
has
its own rules for dealing
with
units, but
these
are
not
discussed
here.
The
approach
taken
here
is to
focus
on
the
SI
system,
and
to
provide
conversions
between
the
I-P units and SI units.
THE
SI
SYSTEM
Today’s SI
system
is
based
on
the
metric
system
that
was
rst
adopted
in
France
in
1791.
This section is
a
general
discussion of
the
SI
system.
More detailed information is available from
NIST
(Thompson and
Taylor 
2008) and
IEEE/ASTM 
(IEEE/ASTM
2002).
The
NIST
publication
can
be
downloaded over
the
Inter-
net 
at
no
cost.
The
S1 
system consists
of 
base
units and derived 
units which together form what is called
a coherent
sys-
tem of SI units.
Such a coherent system 
needs
no addi-
tional
factors
in
equations
to adjust for the units, and
the
advantage
of this is illustrated later. The
seven base
quantities upon which
the
SI
system
is founded
are
length,
mass,
time, thermodynamic
temperature,
electric current, amount of
substance,
and luminous intensity.
Table
1.1 lists
the
names
and symbols of
the
units for
these base
quantities.
Derived units
are expressed
algebraically in
terms
of
base
units or other derived units. The symbols for derived units
are
obtained by
means
of the mathematical
operations
of
multiplication
and division. For example, the derived unit for the derived quantity
mass
ow
(mass
divided by time) is the kilogram per
second,
and the symbol for
mass
ow is kg/s. Other
examples
of derived units
expressed
in
terms
of SI
base
units
are
given 
in
Table 1.2.
There
are
a
number of
coherent
derived units
that
have special
names
and symbols.
For
example, the pascal

Chapter
l—Units
and Properties
is
the special
unit for
pressure,
and
the
symbol
Pa
is
the
special
symbol for
the pascal.
Table
1.3
lists
some
of
these
units
with
special
names
and
symbols.
When it is
stated
that an equation
is valid for
the
SI
system,
it is
meant that
the
equation
is valid for
variables that
are the coherent
units of
the
SI
system.
Pre
 
xes
are
listed in
Table 1.4.
For
example,
the
pre- x
kilo
(k)
means a
multiplication
factor
of
one thousand,
and a
kilometer (km) is
a thousand
meters
(m).
Conver-
sions
between
I-P and SI units
are
listed in
Table
1.5.
Chapters in SI
Only
Some
of 
the
chapters
in this handbook
are
only in
SI units. This
was done
because
the
equations
in
these
chapters are
intended
primarily
for explanation.
These
equations
can
also
be
used to write computer programs, and most computer programs
are
written in SI units
because
they
are
based
on
equations
from
research done
in SI units.
All
of
the variables
in
an
SI equation
are
in
base
units or
coherent
derived units
(Tables
1.1 to 1.3). Table 1.1:

Care
needs
to
be
taken
because
units
with
a
pre
 
x
are
not
coherent except
for
the
kilogram, which is an
excep-
tion. For example, the
following
s
an
SI equation for the
pressure
difference between two
nodes:

pi—pj+pl-g(zl-—Zj:

It can
be
seen
from
Table 
1.3
that
the
pressures
and the

are
in
the
units of
pascals (Pa).
Elevations
are
quantities of length, and they
are
in
meters
(m)
as
can be
seen
from
Table
1.1. From
Table
1.2, it
can
be
seen
that
the

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
The SI unit of
absolute temperature
is
kelvin,
and
the
LP unit of
absolute temperature
is
Rankine. In addi-
tion,
temperature 
is frequently
measured
in
the 
Celsius
or
the
Fahrenheit
scale.
The
following
equations
can
be
used
to
convert between temperature
scales:
TF
=
TR—459.67
TR
=
TF+459.67
TC

Temperature Difference
This 
section
deals
with
temperature
difference, tem-
perature
rise, and
temperature
drop.
All of
these
are
han-
dled
the
same
way, and
they
are
referred to
here
in
a
generic
sense
as
temperature difference.

SOFT AND
HARD
CONVERSIONS
Many
people
are
confused
by
the
terms
soft
conver-
sion
and
hard
conversion,
because
the terms
seem
back-
wards.
Regarding
conversions, 
soft
means
exact
or nearly
so,
and
hard
means
approximate.
An
example
of
a
soft
conversion
is
810 ft
equals
exactly
246.888
m. What is
Handbook
of
Smoke
Control
Engineering
hard
about
a
hard
conversion
is deciding how many digits should
be
kept in
the
rounded
number.
Should
810
ft
be
rounded to
250
m,
247
In, or
something
else?
The
answer
depends
on
numerous considerations,
some
of
Which
are
unique to
speci
 
c
areas
of
engineering.
In this handbook, hard conversions
are
used.
Often,
values
are
rounded to three signi
 
cant digits
because
calculations
based
on
such
rounding
are
equivalent for engineering purposes in
both
systems.
Rounding is
sometimes based
on accuracy consider- ations of the
original
value.
With
most research work and
some
standards,
the
original
value is in SI units. For consistency in this handbook, I-P units
are
listed
rst,
followed
by SI units in
parentheses, regardless
of the
source
of the
data.
UNIT
CONVERSIONS FOR
EQUATIONS
Because
almost all
research
is conducted in SI units,
there
is
a
need to convert SI
equations
to I-P
equa-
tions. This section
discusses
a
method that can be used for
such conversions.
For SI
equations
with
temperature
in
degrees
Celsius, the equation
needs
to
be
converted to
one
With
temperature
in kelvin. The
following
s an equation in mctional form:
(1.5)
:
.f(x13
x29
"-9
x”)
where
y is
a
dependent
variable,
and xi from i= 1 to n
are
independent variables.
Equation
1.5
is in SI units, and t is
desired
to
convert
it to LP units.
The variables
in this
equation
are
related to
the
ones
in
the
other
unit
system

where y'and x;
are
corresponding
variables
in I-P
units,
and
a
and
bl-
are
conversion
constants. Table 1.5
lists
some
conversion factors. Substituting Equations
1.6
into Equation
1.5
results in
:zy’
=
f(b1x1’
,
b2x2'
, ..., bnxl; ). (1.7) This equation is equivalent to Equation 1.6, but it is in I- P units. Equation
1.7 demonstrates
that an
alternate
form of
any
equation can
be developed.
In practice, the
coef
 
cients of
a
function in
the
form of Equation
1.7
would
be
rearranged and rounded off. The resulting
equation can
be
written
as
y'
=
f’(x1',x2',...,x,;)
(1.8)
where f 'is
a
new function
with
rounded off coef
 
-
cients.
The level of
agreement
between Equations
1.7
and
1.8
can
be
expressed
as
_
af’(x1',
x2'
,
“'9e
)—f(x1, x2,

f(x1,x2,

8
is

error in
the
function, f ',

to round- ing. A positive
value
of
8 means
that
f 'is overpredict- ing in comparison
to
the
predictions

When rounding off
the
coef
 
cients, the temptation
of using
a
simple rule 
based
on 
the
accuracy
of
the
orig-
inal
research
needs
to
be avoided.
For example,
a
person might mistakenly

cant g- ures, all the coef

be
rounded to two places.
Some
constants
in
a
function can
have a
much
greater
impact than others, and using
such a
simple approach can result in error
values 8
, that
are
unaccept- ably high. A more appropriate rule is
to
round coef
 
cients
to
the
smallest values
that
will
esult in
values
of
8
that
are
within
a
predetermined
limit.
For many engineering applications,
a
value
8
of 1% would
be reasonable,
and this value is used in Example
1.1.
PHYSICAL DATA
The
values
of
some
physical
constants are
listed in
Table 1.6. The
properties of air
are
listed in
Tables
1.7 and 1.8. The thermal properties of
a
number of materials
are
listed in
Tables
1.9
and 1.10.
U.S.
STANDARD ATMOSPHERE 
The barometric
pressure
and temperature of the air vary
with
altitude,
local
geographic conditions, and weather conditions.
Altitude
is the elevation
above
sea
level. The standard
atmosphere
is
a
standard of refer-
ence
for properties
at
various altitudes. At
sea
level,
the standard temperature
is 59°F (15°C) and the standard barometric
pressure
is 14.6959 psi (101.325 kPa). The barometric
pressure
and temperature
decrease
with
increasing altitude. The
temperature
is considered
to
decrease
linearly
throughout the troposphere, Which is the lowest
portion
of the earth’s
atmosphere.
The
stan-
dard barometric
pressure
varies
with
altitude
as
p =
14.6959(16.87559
><
10-6z)5-2559
(1.10)
p =
101.325(1—2.25577
><10_52)5 2559
for
1.
The
standard temperature varies
With altitude
as
T =
59—

T =

(kPa), 
T

(0C),

= altitude, ft (m). 
Example
1.2 shows
how
to
calculate the standard
barometric
pressure.
The climatic
data
listed
in
Chapter 2 lists the standard barometric
pressure
calcu- lated
from
Equation 1.10 for locations throughout the world. The
above
equations for barometric
pressure
and temperature
are
accurate
from
—16,400
to
36,000
ft
(—5000
to 11,000 m). For higher altitudes,
see
NASA
(1976).

Example 1.1.
Equivalent
I-P
Equation
For the
following
SI equation, develop an equivalent I-P version. The SI equation
is
m
=
0'59Qc1/3W1/5(Zb+
0.17W7/15H+
10.35W7/15—
15)
Where
m =
mass
ow rate in plume (kg/sec),
QC
=
convective heat
release
rate
of
the
re
(kW),
W = length of the
spill
(m),
Zb
= height of the plume
above
the
balcony
edge
(In),
H = height of balcony
above
fuel (m).
This equation is applicable for
zb
<
15
m and
W<
10 m. It is desired to convert this equation to
another
one
with
mass
ow in
pounds
per
second,
heat
release
in
Btu/s, and length
in
feet. The variables
are
related
between the
two
systems
as
m = 0.4536m';Qc =
1.055Qé
;W
= 0.3048W';zp = 0.30482]; ;H = 0.3048H'. Substituting the relations between the
two
unit
systems
into the SI version of the equation, rearranging, and rounding coef
 
- cients to four places yields
0.4536m'
= 
0.59(1.055Q(;
)1/3(0,3048W')1/5 
[0.30482];
+
0.17(0.3048
W’)7/150.3048H’ 
+
10.35(0.3048 
W')7/
15
15]
.
Next,
the coef
 
cients in this equation were rearranged and calculated to four
places
m
=
0.3182(QC'
)1/3(W')1/5[zb'
+
0.09764(W')7/15H'+19.50(W')7/15
49.21].
These
coef
 
cients need to
be
rounded down further. The rst attempt
Will
be
to
round
the
coef
 
cients
to
two places and calcu- late the error. A
spread
sheet
program
was
used
to
evaluate
a
version of the equation
with
coef
 
cients rounded
to
two places. Errors were calculated over
a
range of useful
values
which is:
350
Btu/s <
QC
< 1400 Btu/s,
3
ft <
2,,
<
50
ft, 7 ft < W <
32.8
ft,
8
ft < H <
18
ft. It
was
found that
8
is independent of
QC,
but it
depends
on the other variables. Over this range, the error,
8
, varied
from
0.8% to 5.9%.
On inspection, the last coef
 
cient in
the
equation
appears
to
have the
most impact on the predicted results. The 
spread sheet
data
was
modi
 
ed
so
that this last coef
 
cient
was
to three places and the
others
unchanged.
With
these
coef
 
cients, 8 varied
from
0.6% to 0.8%.
Because
these
errors
are
less
than the predetermined
limit
of 1%, the coef
 
cients
are
acceptable.
Based on this analysis, the equation in I-P units can be
written
Without
the
prime notation
as
m
=
0.32c/3
W1/5(zb
+
0.098
W7/15H
+
19.5
W7/15
49.2) 
where
m =
mass
ow rate in plume (lb/s), Q = heat
release
rate of the re (Btu/s), W = length of the
spill
(ft),
21,
= height of the plume
above
the
balcony
edge
(ft),
H = height of balcony
above
fuel
(ft).

CHAPTER
2 
Climatic
Design
Data
John
H.
Klote
Outdoor
temperature
and
wind
data are
needed
for
the
design and
analysis
of
smoke
control
systems,
and this
chapter
provides
such data
for locations in
the
US,
Canada,
and many
other
countries.
Standard
barometric
pressures are
also
provided.
CLIMATIC 
DATA 
Climatic
data
in IP and SI units for Winter and
summer design temperatures plus extreme
wind
speeds
are
listed
in
Tables 2.1
and 2.2. This climatic
data
was
from
a
study by Thevenard (2009),
which
was
funded
by ASHRAE. For information
about
the
source
data
used for
Thevenard’s
project,
see
Lott,
Baldwin,
and
Jones
(2001) and Data Documentation
for
Data
Set
3505
(NCDC
2003).
The design
values
of extreme
wind
speed are
based
on work of Lamming and Salmon (1998). The
data
in
Tables
2.1 and 2.2
are
the
same
as
corresponding temperature and Wind data in
ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals
(ASHRAE
2009).
Thevenard’s study
was
for the period
from
1982
to
2006. This 25-year
period
of weather data
was
a
com-
promise between
trying
to derive design conditions
from
the longest possible
period
and using the most
recent data to capture the effects of climate
change.
The actual amount of
data
used for
a
station
depended
on the amount of missing
data.
While
most stations
had
25 
years
of
usable data,
some
stations
had
as
few
as
eight years. Earlier climatic design
data
were compiled by Hub- bard
et
a1.
(2004)
based
on
weather
data
from
1972 to 2001.
For most
weather stations,
the more
recent data
of Thevenard had small
increases
in
temperatures
as
com- pared to that of Hubbard
et
211.
For example,
the
99.6%
13 
winter design
temperatures increased
0.20°F
(O.11°C)
on
average,
and
the summer
design
temperatures
increased 0.25
°F
(014°C) 
on 
average.
Tables
2.1 and 2.2
have data
for
1663 weather
sta-
tions around
the
world. Of
these
stations, 726
are
in
the
US. and
136
are
in
Canada. These stations
include all
North
American cities and towns in of
Thevenard’s
study that
have
populations of 10,000 or more plus loca- tions of
special
interest,
such
as
resorts.
For climatic design
data
for locations not included in
Table
2.1,
see
the CD-ROM that
accompanies
the 2009
ASHRAE
Handbook—Fundamentals.
As a convenience, the
station
names
used
in
Table
2.1
and 2.2
are
the
commonly
used
names
of
the
locations and not
the
World Meteorological Organization
(WMO)
station identi
 
ers.
The
WMO
station
identi
 
ers
are:
(1) all capital
letters,
(2) of
inconsistent
format,
and
(3)
do
not
always correspond to current station
names.
For
these
reasons, the
WMO
identi
 
ers
are
not
used
in
Table 
2.1.
Most of the
stations
in
Tables
2.1 and
2.2
are
air- ports, and most of
these
stations have a
term
such
as
air- port, eld, or air
eld
in their
name
to
identify
them.
Stations
at
many
military
sites are
also
airports, and many of
these
have
abbreviations
such
as
AAF
(Army Air
 
eld),
AFB
(Air
Force Base),
ANGB
(Air
National Guard Base), ARB
(Air
Reserve
Base),
MCAS
(Marine Corps Air Station), NAS (Naval Air Station), and
RAAF
(Royal Australian Air Force). The
names
of many of the
civilian
airports and
military
airports indicate their geographical location.
For other airports, the name
is 
not indicative of loca-
tion,
and for
these

airport name. For example, Andrews AFB is located in Maryland, but it is part of the Washington, DC metro-
politan
area.
The station name used in the table for this
airport is
Washington,
DC, Andrews AFB.
Some
weather stations
are
not
at
airports, and the
names
of such stations
are
those
of the cities they
are
in or
near.
Standard
Barometric
Pressure
As
a
convenience, standard
barometric
pressures
are
included in 
Table 2.1.
These pressures
were calculated
om
the
station elevation
using
the
equation
for
pressure
of
the
US.
Standard
Atmosphere (Chapter
1) (NASA
1976).
For
example,
the
elevation
of Denver
Stapleton
International Airport in Colorado is
5285
ft (1611 m),
and
the standard
barometric
pressure at
this altitude is 12.1 psi
(83.4 kPa).
This differs from
the standard
barometric
pressure
at
sea 
level, which is
14.696
psi
(101.325
kPa).
Winter
Design Temperature
Tables
2.1
and
2.2
list winter 
design temperatures.
These are
the
dry bulb
temperatures
corresponding to
99.6%
annual
cumulative
frequency
of
occurrence. 
For
example,
the
99.6% winter
design
temperature
for
Wash-
ington Dulles International Airport in Virginia is
10.7°F
(—11.8°C).
This
means
that the
temperature
at
Dulles
Air-
port can be thought of
as
being
above
10.7°F
(—11.8°C)
for 99.6% of
the
year.
Summer Design Temperature
Tables
2.1
and
2.2 list
summer
design
temperatures,
which
are
the
dry bulb
temperatures
corresponding to 0.4% annual cumulative frequency of
occurrence.
For
example, the 0.4%
summer
design
value
at
Dulles
Air-
port is 93.5°F
(341°C).
The
temperature at
Dulles
Air-
port
can be
thought of
as
being
above 93.50F
(34.1°C)
for only 0.4% of the
year.
Design
Wind
Tables
2.1 and
2.2
list
extreme
wind
speeds
corre-
sponding
to 1%
annual
cumulative
frequency
of
occur- rence.
This is
the
same
as
the
1%
extreme Wind
speed
in ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals (2009). For
exam-
ple,
the
1%
extreme
wind
at
Dulles Airport is
20.5
mph (9.2 m/s), which
means
that the Wind
at
Dulles Airport is
above 
20.5
mph (9.2 m/s) for only 1% of
the 
year.
NCAA
(1998) provides
data
regarding prevailing
Winds
for
a
number of locations in
the
US.
Some readers
may notice that the design
wind
speed
for
smoke
control
systems
is much lower than that for
structures.
This is
because
smoke
control
systems
need to withstand the
wind
for the relatively
short
duration of
system
operation, but
structures need
to
withstand the
wind
over
the
entire
life
of the structure.
