another strategy (in non-high rises, non health care, non H-3 occupancies, etc) is to simply have occupants stay in their rooms with the doors closed. Not a sophisticated approach, but a practical one matched to the low probability of fire in elevator systems.
after all, how long is an elevator fire going to burn? (two sofas being moved into a new apartment via elavator is about as bad as one might reasonably expect). one would need to validate the tenability of the rooms with and without smoke-resistant doors. and yes, there is wind and stack effect to consider. scot deal excelsior fire engineering _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
