Maximum Heat Release Rate. o Based upon the expected time for sprinkler activation and the maximum fire size of a given fuel package. Determination of Smoke Production. o Soot yields corresponding to polyurethane foam with some cellulosic material (effective yield of 5%).

62 Performance Based ASET - FDS Smoke Management Study Assumptions: Visibility C = 3
63 Performance Based ASET Smoke Control System Exhaust Method NFPA 92 Design Fire : 3,120 kw Smoke Rate Production m = 156 kg/s Makeup Air Requirements (90 %) V = 117 m 3 /s. Supply vents A = 115 m 2 v < 1.02 m/s Maximum volumetric flow rate - plug-holing V max = 16.6 m 3 /s.

64 Performance Based ASET Smoke Control System Exhaust Method Design fires - Mechanical Smoke Control System Most severe cases Design Fire A (DFES-A): DF#2 HRR - 2,500 kw - Produces the most smoke and requires the highest exhaust rate. Design Fire B (DFES-B): DF#2 HRR - 3,120 kw - Produces the most smoke in the first stages of the fire. Design Fire D (DFES-C): DF#4 HRR - 1,500 kw - It makes fail the tenability criteria on Level 6 at 180 seconds, which is the worst ASET obtained in the study.

66 Performance Based Conclusions - The CSM complies with the prescriptive requirements stated on the applicable codes. - The performance-based analysis, however, showed that different results might be obtained depending on the assumptions made for the evaluations. When the RSET STEPS, and t p-e is assumed to be 60 seconds, the ASET is greater than the RSET for all levels. When the RSET PATHFINDER, different results obtained depending on the t p-e assumed (60/180), and only Level 2 passed the tenability criteria regardless the t p-e considered.
67 Performance Based Conclusions - The Smoke Management Study assumed t p-e = 60 s on the basis that DF simulated are in relatively close proximity to the observe smoke and flames. occupied spaces, so the occupants would clearly be able to - The validity of this assumption may be challenged since: There are administrative offices and work spaces that subdivide the atrium space on Levels 2-6. The EVAC system installed operates through pre-recorded voice messages (W2) t p-e =180 s. - The simulation of the atrium with a Mechanical Smoke Control Systems showed that all levels in the atriums successfully pass the tenability criteria evaluated, regardless the pre-movement time considered.
68 Performance Based Recommendations - Prepare and implement a Fire Safety Management Plan for the building, in conformity with the requirements of the IFC, Chapter 4, including: The location of furniture to be allowed in the atrium at its different levels. The procedures and requirements for a staged evacuation in the building, which allow occupants within close proximity of the fire to evacuate the building first. - Conduct a detailed study in the current conditions of the building, in order to ascertain more accurately the validity of the assumptions made in the previous Smoke Management Study.
69 Performance Based Recommendations - Make the decision of redesign or change the EVAC system currently operating through pre-recorded voice messages, for a W1 system (60 s). - Conduct a detailed cost-benefit analysis for determining the feasibility of: Installing a mechanical smoke control system in the atrium Improving/changing the current natural smoke controls systems - The analysis should revolve on conservative assumptions in order to rely on a system able to provide 1.5 times the RSET for the safe occupant evacuation
