| Abstract |
Description of a system of calculating smoke venting areas to ensure that the necessary fire protection measures can be taken at the building-design stage. Fire load and smoke and heat fire factors are used to produce a smoke formula for determining the necessary vent areas for smoke venting and heat dissipation. Use of the formula is illustrated by an example. Domed rooflights are employed which disintegrate at 250°C and allow heat and smoke to escape. |
