최근에 국내에서도 대형 쇼핑 몰이나 건축물에 부속된 아트리움 등 대형공간을 도입한 건축물이 점차 증가하고 있다. 따라서 건물 방화 설계자는 화재시 공간의 특성에 따른 열과 연기의 확산과 이동에 관한 정량적인 해석이 필요하지만 국내에서는 아직 이에 대한 관련 규정이 미비한 실정이다. 대형 공간의 공학적인 해석은 크게 실험을 통하여 제시되는 계산공식을 이용하거나 대상 공간의 화재 조건을 예측하는 컴퓨터 모델을 이용할 수 있다. 외국의 경우, 미국의 NFPA 92B는 이러한 공간에 대한 제연 시스템에 적용하는 공식과 계산식을 제시하고 있으며 이를 통하여 연기나 열 감지기의 작동시간, 연기 발생비율, 연기 층의 하강을 제어하기 위한 배기량 등을 계산할 수 있다.

This study compared, through a fire simulation, temperature changes of the smoke layer and the air layer, and height fluctuations of the smoke layer, according to the sprinkler head installation and non-installation, and the sprinkler head types in elderly-care facilities. When a standard response sprinkler worked, the radiant heat exceeded the conditions for the occurrence of flashover. However the ESFR sprinkler prevented flashover. When the early response head worked, inhabitants were not damaged by radiant heat because the maximum value of the heat flux remained $2,293W/m^2$, which is less then the burn hazard criterion of $4,000W/m^2$. The highest temperature of the room when fire occurred exceeded the safety standard in all of the smoke layer and the air layer, but the highest temperature was kept below the safety standard after it fell down rapidly. Because the height of the smoke layer was maintained above 1.1 m when the early response sprinkler worked, the falling of the smoking layer was much more delayed than in the case where the standard response sprinkler was used.

Four fire scenarios, as the cases of fire sizes of 2 MW and 5 MW, and no installation and activation of atrium fire shutter for dormitory building of Daegu 'D college', were developed and fire simulations were run using FDS (ver. 5.5.0) and Pathfinder 2009 programs. By assessing fire and evacuation, the effects of atrium fire shutter and vents on the smoke control of atrium were evaluated and this study also analyzed fire hazard and egress safety for occupants in the dormitory. Fire shutter's preventing smoke transport around atrium was much effective, but smoke layer descended down the design limit of smoke height and kept about 2 m height from the atrium floor in all cases because flow rate through vents was not enough. For the case of 5 MW fire and no fire shutter, fire hazard was higher due to visibility than temperature and allowable egress time to stairwell was short less than 5 seconds for the occupants on the floors of 4F to 7F. For total occupants, egress time out of main doorway was calculated about 136 seconds. It is sure that additional systems improving the performance of smoke control need to be installed for more safe evacuation.
