Design of Smoke Control Systems for Buildings

J. H. Klote / J. W. Fothergill

This book consolidates and systematically presents data and calculational procedures necessary to smoke control systems designers and discusses design criteria. The book was originally intended for use by mechanical engineers. However, it also may be useful to fire protection engineers and code officials. Included are discussions of the driving forces of smoke movement, the principles of smoke control, calculation of effective flow areas, concept of symmetry, and design parameters. A computer program for analysis of smoke control systems is presented. Concepts of stairwell pressurization and zoned smoke control are presented. Numerous hand calculated examples and computer calculated examples are included.
