산후조리원의 성능위주설계에 의한 피난안전성 증대방안

Abstract

This study sought to propose measures for improving evacuation safety. This was achieved by calculating the habitable time using a fire and evacuation simulation program for the Postnatal care center currently in operation, and comparing and analyzing it with the evacuation required time. Assuming the presence of a fire caused by the overheating of electric heaters in a maternity room, the habitable time was calculated through fire simulation, and the occupant's evacuation time, according neonatal unit arrangement, was compared and analyzed with the habitable time. It was found that evacuation safety was not secured among the postnatal care center subjects in this simulation as the evacuation time exceeded the habitable time. In the analysis of evacuation time, changes in evacuation time were compared and analyzed by setting up scenarios such as dispersing neonatal units on one floor and distributing them on two floors. As a result of the evacuation simulation, and based upon the shortest evacuation time, it was found that many people would not be able to evacuate if the neonatal unit was only placed on the highest floor and in one location. Therefore, regulations for placing the neonatal unit and the postnatal care center on the lower floors are necessary.
