Abstract
This report presents a project plan to test combinations of zoned smoke control and stairwell pressurization systems under real fire conditions to evaluate the appropriateness of current design methods of analysis for these systems. The report describes the test building, smoke control systems, calibration of building leakage areas, test instrumentation, and test series. As the project progresses much will be learned from the initial stages of work, and the need for some adjustments in the test series or other parts of the project plan may become apparent.
