| 5 | Intelligent stair counting device | 9.7 | Technology |
2. Detailed explanation of the calculation method of stair steps
1.Basic formula calculation method
Total number of steps = floor height ÷ single step height. According to the "General Principles of Civil Building Design":
| Stair type | Recommended step height (cm) | Recommended step width (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| residential stairs | 15-17 | 26-30 |
| public building | 13-15 | 28-32 |
| outdoor steps | 12-14 | 30-35 |
2.practice measurement
(1) Preparation tools: tape measure, record book
(2) Measurement steps:
① Measure the clear height of the floor (from ground to ground)
② Measure the height of a single step (need to measure 3-5 and take the average)
③Total number of steps = Clear height of floor ÷ Average step height
3. Answers to popular questions
1.Why are the number of stairs always odd?
According to Feng Shui tradition, the odd number represents the "yang number". Modern architecture is usually designed with an odd number because the starting and ending feet need to be consistent.
2.Calculating calories burned by climbing stairs

| 50 | 25-30 |
| 60 | 30-36 |
| 70 | 35-42 |
4. Recommendation of intelligent computing tools
1. Mobile APP: StepCounter, Stair Calculator
2. Smart bracelet: Stair climbing mode of Xiaomi/Huawei bracelet
3. Laser range finder: suitable for accurate measurement in decoration construction
5. Safety precautions
1. Keep the stairs dry and clean during measurement
2. The decoration construction error should be controlled within ±5mm
3. It is recommended that the step height in senior housing should not exceed 15cm.
4. It is recommended that each flight of stairs should not exceed 18 steps, and a rest platform must be provided.
From the above structured data analysis, it can be seen that the calculation of the number of stair steps involves both mathematical formulas and actual usage scenarios. It is recommended that when the floor height of ordinary residential buildings is 3 meters, it is most reasonable to design steps of 15-17 levels, which can not only ensure comfort but also comply with safety regulations.
