This course explains how smoke migrated in a multi-story building fire and discusses how building codes have evolved to address this danger and why they mandate smoke containment in specific areas of a structure. Product applications and assemblies designed to meet building code requirements and limit vertical smoke migration via elevator hoistways and lobbies are explained.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the behavior of the fire and smoke in a mid- or high-rise building and how smoke migration can inhibit means of egress via elevator hoistways & lobbies and compromise the life safety of building occupants
- Discuss how the building codes address smoke control in multi-level buildings and the building design measure that must be taken to enhance occupant safety
- Evaluate and compare the product applications and assemblies designed to meet building code requirements and limit smoke migration via elevator hoistways and lobbies
- List building design and product configuration options that comply with building code requirements for egress planning
