Smoke is often presents during a fire. It affects efficiency of evacuations in buildings. Slovakian national standards do not consider any fire products in evacuation calculations. The paper presents results of evacuation calculations with considerations of smoke. Calculations are done with the evacuation model buildingEXODUS on a hotel building. Results show that prolongation of evacuation time is up to 162%. Results show that the prolongation of evacuation time is up to 162 %, and also show the prolongation of evacuation time do not necessary depend on size, but on position of smoke.
