Dear Nick,
I am attaching herewith the building layout for the building showing the
staircases. Note that the as per the building layout these staircases are
not covered and open to surroundings.
There is no HVAC System serving to these staircases.
Thanks,

Hi Nimesh,
If I'm correctly guessing the stairs are exterior to the building perimeter,
I would advise not wrapping your envelope around the stairs and creating
false interior spaces. Do model the exterior doorways, and consider
approximating their effect as building shades for your proposed model (not
the baseline).
If you're asking about open interior staircases interconnecting three
stories, and your question is more about thermal zones/system relationships,
I think the mailing list needs more info on those things to provide an
informed response.

Dear Friends,
In one my recent Project I have building which is having five nos of Open /
Uncovered Staircases and the building is three storey.
