Performance-Based Solutions of Thermal and Smoke Control Ventilation in Industrial Power Plant Buildings

Industrial power plant buildings differ from all other types of buildings, mainly due to their significant heights and volumes without internal floor sections, exceptionally heat gains during daily work, potentially high fire risk. Those consist boiler turbine houses with multilevel stairways. This complicated architecture creates an extraordinary natural thermal stack effect, causing special ventilation smoke control systems requirements, adapted specific structures conditions. The paper demonstrates a proposal for optimal solutions in industrial designated on the basis performance-based calculations confirmed by CFD simulations. It possibilities using function event defines fundamental rules designing system. Additionally, new method sufficient staircase (pylons) protection modified pressurization system is proposed.
