Design Approaches for Smoke Control in Atrium Buildings

Download or read book Design Approaches for Smoke Control in Atrium Buildings written by G. O. Hansell and published by Building Research Establishment. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to assist designers of smoke ventilation systems in atrium buildings. Most of the methods advocated are the outcome of research into smoke movement and control at the Fire Research Station (FRS), but also take into account experience gained and ideas developed whilst the authors and their colleagues have discussed many proposed schemes with interested parties. The primary purpose of the Report is to summarise in a readily usable form the design advice available from FRS at the time of its preparation, As such, it does not attempt to cover installation, detailed specification of hardware, or aspects of fire safety engineering other than smoke control.
