Short description
This guideline applies to the dimensioning of systems for the removal of smoke, particularly those used in buildings. It shows potential applications and the limits and requirements of the engineering methods for dimensioning. Zone models, CFD models and simulation tests are discussed. Moreover, an analytical calculation method for simple geometries is provided. The guideline does not deal with safety pressurisation and flushing installations as well as similar systems.In addition to buildings, this guideline is also applicable to, e. g., subterranean traffic systems (such as tunnels) and vehicles (such as ships).
