Library Vestibule Addition 116 King St, Suite 202 Madison, WI 53703 (608) 204-7464 Sonja Kruesel – City Planner and Economic Development Director City of Monona 5211 Schluter Road Monona, WI 53716 January 31st, 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Aro Eberle Architects was hired by the Monona Public Library to develop plan for the addition of new vestibules to the Monona Library Building. The main driver behind the project is to improve energy efficiency by limiting the amount of infiltration in to the building cause by ingress and egress of library patrons. Originally, we investigated both the Nichols Rd. and Schluter Rd. entrances for new vestibules, however, after verifying that the cost to build both vestibules exceeded the original budget and expectations, we revised the project to include a vestibule at only the Schluter Rd entrance. The Nichols Rd. entrance has a lower frequency of use and it was deemed that its lower use did not justify the cost of a complete vestibule. The Nichols Rd. entry will receive new, high-efficiency doors and glazing in place of the existing doors and glazing in the same configuration. The Schluter Rd. entrance is a better candidate for the addition of a vestibule because of the higher traffic levels, and because there is an existing basement space beneath the entire front stoop. Adding the vestibule solves long term moisture and insulation issues in this area. The vestibule can also rest on the existing concrete basement and foundation wall, eliminating the need to excavate for foundations. This project addresses two other areas of concern at the Schluter Rd entrance. There is an underground vault located beneath the sidewalk approach to the building with two metal grates at each corner. This vault does not currently house any infrastructure and can be filled in as part of this project. This eliminates any safety concerns surrounding this concealed underground space covered by a concrete slab. There are also storm water issues causing problems at the front entrance that will be addressed with the project. The vestibule walls and roof will be framed with cold-formed steel studs. The roof infill will be rather flat, requiring a rubber membrane roof in lieu of shingles. The glazing will be thermally broken anodized aluminum with clear insulated glazing units. The new vestibule cladding material is planned as a concealed fastener composite material with the look and texture of wood siding. It was chosen to complement the existing material pallet of white stucco or white painted concrete and red brick. It is a very durable and low maintenance material. It won’t require any special detailing of the existing foundation walls to install. The new roof edge will be a straight line across the front of the building. A new gutter will connect to the existing gutters and new downspouts will help direct run-off away from the building. A missing downspout near the Northeast corner will be put back into place and connected to the storm sewer.

  • Air Curtains As Alternatives to Vestibules
    Air Curtains as Alternatives to Vestibules his article describes the function and benefits of air curtains. It presents results from a recent study on the energy performance of air curtains relative to vesti- T bules and provides useful information for engineers and code officials. HOW AIR CURTAINS WORK An air curtain installed on the interior of a building creates a coherent sheet of air composed of the air curtain discharge and the surrounding entrained air. This sheet of air stabilizes when it meets a return grill or splits at a surface, such as a floor or another opposing air stream. When this stability combines with the building’s interior pressure, it resists and reduces thermal exchange over an opening in the building envelope. The air curtain is not intended to replace a physical door, but may be used as a low-cost, low-maintenance alternative to a vestibule, when appropriate. This would save valuable floor space and create an invisible, energy-saving barrier that reduces infiltra- tion when the door is open. The most common types of controls are switches triggered by the door, or motion sensors that are triggered by people approaching the door. BENEFITS OF AIR CURTAINS Approved as an alternative to vestibules in the 2015 International Energy Conser- vation Code (IECC) and the 2015 International Green Construction Code ® (IgCC), air curtains make egress in an emergency exit situation safer and faster by providing clear, By David A.

  • Vestibule Requirements in Commercial Buildings Vestibule Requirements in Commercial Buildings
    CODE NOTES CODE BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM 2009 and 2012 IECC; ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and 2010 Vestibule Requirements in Commercial Buildings The intent of the vestibule requirement is to reduce infiltration of air into a space, thereby addressing energy conservation and comfort issues for occupants located near primary entrance doors. The majority of infiltration comes through primary entrance doors that are typically used to access public areas, and have higher usage rates than doors classified for personnel use. Vestibules can reduce the infiltration losses (or gains) from wind and stack effects by creating an air lock entry. Commercial building designers are required to install vestibules on primary entrance doors leading to and from spaces greater than or equal to 3,000 Oces square feet (298 m2), with some 2600 Ft2 Floor Area exceptions. Many designers are unclear on 2 what is included in determining the 3,000 500 Ft Floor Area ft2 that defines a space. For example, if an entrance door leading from a lobby is attached to a corridor with a combined Oces total area of 3,000 ft2, must the door meet the vestibule requirement? Similarly, which doors must have vestibules when Figure 1. several doors leave a space greater than or equal to 3,000 ft2? from the entrance door are included when determining if a vestibule is required. The 2009 and 2012 IECC require that (See Figure 1). primary entrance doors accessing spaces 3,000 ft2 or greater have vestibules. This ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and 2010 also require requirement typically applies to large vestibules for entrance doors accessing “box” stores where the building entrance spaces 3,000 ft2 or greater but with opens directly to a resale area, or to some added requirements not present other occupancies with large lobbies in the IECC.

  • Life Safety - Means of Egress/Exits – NFPA 101
    Life Safety - Means of Egress/Exits – NFPA 101 Properly designed exits provide a safe path of escape from a fire or other emergency environment. The means of egress (exits) should be arranged to permit all occupants to reach a safe place before they are endangered by fire, smoke, or heat. The goal is for everyone to leave the hazardous areas in the shortest time possible. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed model codes for fire protection and life safety. These model codes were adopted by federal, state, and local organizations and are included in their various building codes. NFPA 101 is the code that addresses life safety. This code includes minimum life safety requirements and requirements for specific building occupancy. The “authority having jurisdiction” (AHJ) (fire marshal, etc.) can modify these requirements under certain circumstances. NFPA 101 is a performance code and uses an “equivalent protection” concept by permitting alternatives, such as credits in case of a fully sprinklered occupancy. The code makes a distinction between a new and an existing occupancy. In most cases, adequate consideration is given to life safety in new construction. Changes in occupancy, growth, or modernization of operations require a periodic life safety review. This bulletin is intended only as a general overview of the basic requirements. Please refer to the most current edition of Life Safety Code NFPA 101 for specific details for each type of occupancy. Definitions Means of Egress: A continuous and unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building or structure to a public way that consists of the following three separate and distinct parts: • Exit access: The travel path or area that leads from where a person is located to the entrance to an exit.

This report shows that the estimation of air infiltration rate using the proposed method can be readily used in EnergyPlus whole building energy simulations. The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1. Develop a modeling strategy to capture the energy saving impacts of ASHRAE 90.1 vestibule requirements (i.e., addendum ‘c’ to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 and addendum ‘q’ to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007). 2. Provide a guideline to model air infiltration through door openings calculated for the whole building simulations to determine its impact for various types of buildings. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) prototypical commercial building models were used in the analysis to determine energy savings from the vestibule requirements. The national construction- weighted average savings for each building prototype from ASHRAE 90.1 vestibule requirements have been determined, and the results are presented in the table below.

Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 9 Greyridge Farm Court Stony Point, NY 10980 P: (877) 322-5800 F: (877) 322-4774 [email protected] Stairwell Pressurization Systems STAIRWELL PRESSURIZATION SYSTEMS Introduction In a high-rise building, the stairs typically represent the sole means of egress during a fire. It is imperative for the exit stairs to be free of smoke and to incorporate design features that improve the speed of occupant egress. Most building codes require the fire stairwells in a high-rise building to be pressurized to keep smoke out. The stairwell pressurization serves several purposes: • Inhibit migration of smoke to stairwells, areas of refuge, elevator shafts, or similar areas. • Maintain a tenable environment in areas of refuge and means of egress during the time required for evacuation. • Facilitate the fire and rescue operation by improving visibility in the building for the firefighting crew. • Protect life and reduce damage to property. The International Building Code (IBC) enforced much throughout the United States, recognizes three specific means for providing smoke proof enclosures: 1. Naturally ventilated stair balconies 2. Mechanical ventilation of a stair 1 66 Stairwell Pressurization Systems 3. Stair pressurization Due to the relative cost of the associated mechanical systems, and architectural space issues related to providing exterior balconies and stair vestibules, the stair pressurization system is the most widely selected design option. This course discusses the smoke control systems and examines the design considerations associated with stairwell pressurization systems.
