The adoption of fire safety management for upgrading the fire safety level of existing hotel buildings
Abstract The fire safety of existing buildings decreases over time. Based on factors such as space limitation and high construction costs, upgrading hardware construction is difficult, especially in existing hotel buildings due to their 24-h operation. This paper proposes a simple fire safety evaluation system for existing multi-purpose hotel buildings. Fire safety management is the most important section in the evaluation system, which includes fire prevention, and evacuation and mitigation strategies, accounting for a 54.95% weighting. In this study, an empirical evaluation was conducted on 16 multi-purpose hotel buildings. Of these test cases, five were determined to be unsafe. After reviewing the scores for each fire safety management plan factor, necessary improvement plans were proposed. This system will assist owners in undertaking improved fire safety management measures with less hardware renewal.
Highlights ► The fire management measures are good to improve the safety of existing hotel buildings. ► The three safety strategies were provided to assessment. ► Solve the difficulties of walking distance and numbers of entrances. ► We attempt to use the potential risk of existing building which is directly related to usage behavior. ► Easy and practical.
