Abstract
AbstractSmoke control is designed to enhance tenability throughout the appropriate egress time. The smoke-control system can be either a dedicated system or fully integrated with the HVAC system. In certain circumstances, the integration of the smoke-control system with the HVAC system requires additional, dedicated exhaust fans, in specific areas, for the removal of smoke. An overview of the various approaches of smoke management systems, including the four principal methods used for smoke management—passive, airflow, pressurization, and exhaust—are discussed. This paper also reviews the general aspects of the design process, as well as the various methods and approaches used in smoke-control design. Integration with the following is discussed: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design process; codes and regulations used for smoke control, detection, and notification; zoning; and software used for smoke-control projects. In addition, a case study has been provided as an example of the design process.
