Should Smoke Management System Be Provided in Karaoke Establishments?

چکیده
Smoke management system is proposed for life safety in karaoke establishments. Arguments are supported by simulating different scenarios with a two-layer zone model. A typical room-corridor structure of a karaoke establishment is selected. Different ventilation arrangements are considered. With careful design such as adequate extraction rates, smoke layer in the corridor can be kept at high levels for easier evacuation, even under a bad scenario of closing the corridor door. Further analysis with full-scale burning tests is strongly recommended to convince the industry before implementing such tight regulations.
