| Abstract |
In this study, we sought solutions to minimize the stack effect problems in a tall office building connected to a low-rise, large-scale shopping center. Toward this end, we carried out field research and experiments under different conditions involving previous construction cases. We applied procedures for minimizing stack effect problems as derived through case studies to design plans for new buildings. The proposed stack effect minimization procedures were reevaluated using the ContamW program and field tests. Based on our findings, our final choice among the stack effect minimization procedures that we evaluated would most likely reduce the pressure differences at the elevator doors in a tall office building by 50% compared to the original design plan. |
