Abstract

In the event of a building fire, it is important to control the smoke generated to ensure the safe evacuation of occupants. A natural smoke ventilator should be installed to exhaust the fire smoke in accordance with the Korean building Act and Code. On the other hand, the present law does not specify the contents regarding natural smoke ventilators sufficiently. The problems that occur in various parts, such as the installation target, installation location, free area, and the control and maintenance of natural smoke ventilators need to be solved. In this study, the problem of the current system was examined through domestic and foreign standards, preliminary research, and field investigations. In addition, suggestions for improvement are provided.

건물에서 화재가 발생했을 때 재실자의 안전한 대피를 위하여 발생되는 연기를 제어하는 것이 중요하다. 화재 연기를 배출하기 위해 설치해야 하는 배연창은 자연배연설비로, 이와 관련한 내용은 건축 관련법에 규정하고 있다. 그러나 현재법 규정에서 배연창에 대해 최소 기준만 제시하고 있고, 그 내용이 구체적이지 않아 건물에 적용할 때 다수의 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 배연창의 설치대상, 설치위치, 유효면적, 제어 및 유지관리 등 여러 부분에서 발생하는 문제들에 대한 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 외 배연창 관련 기준과 선행연구 조사, 현장조사를 통해 현 제도의 문제점을 파악하고 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
