Abstract
This study compared the performance of a smoke control system in the case of a fire with that in the case of non-fire. Single-pressurization in the vestibule, single-pressurization in the stairwell, simultaneous smoke control of the stairwell and vestibule, which was the pressurization of smoke control, were assessed. The result showed that simultaneous smoke control of the stairwell and vestibule can maintain the differential pressure and is least influenced for the evacuation of evacuees. In addition, for the status of smoke control in Korea and the proper pressurization method, these results highlight the necessity of improving the current pressurization method through the survey.
