COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will provide you a better understanding of how smoke migrates in multi-story building fires and how building codes in the United States have evolved to address this danger. Throughout this course we will illustrate the physics of vertical smoke migration in mid and high-rise building fires and the hazards this presents for building occupants. The instructor will discuss how building codes seek to protect building occupants from this hazard and review various methods that have been developed to meet these code requirements to limit vertical smoke migration.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Learning Objective 1: Understand the behavior of fire and smoke in a building.
Learning Objective 2:Understand how the building codes address smoke migration and its effect on the means of egress during a building fire.
Learning Objective 3: Review different methods and products and their effects on smoke migration.
Learning Objective 4: Review the design options that comply with building code requirements for egress planning.
