This research performed tests of Video Fire Detector and criteria of installation to make suggestions regarding the criteria that must be reflected in NFSC 203 by comparing the standards of FM Approvals, UL, ISO7240 and NFPA 72. FM Standard related to Video Fire Detector test has been classified as Smoke, Flame type, but the UL Standard has classified only as a Smoke type. This research examined 6 cases of fire phenomenon detection case in ISO 7240 and 3 cases in NFPA 72, respectively. There are 15 items required for the installation standard of a Video Fire Detector and each field standard is presented as a per installation method. To apply a Video Fire Detector, the pertinent items (the definition of term, detector's classification, structure and function among its test item) must be inserted. In addition, 7 items of the fire test, i.e., the sensitivity adjustment, prevent false alarm, ambient temperature test, the effective sensitivity and detection distance and viewing angle, aging test, flood test, must be applied to the actual test. For installation in the field, the operation environment and levels of illumination, and NFSC 203 must be set, and standards relevant to the sound system, indicators' installation distance, etc. need to be inserted.

In this study, an architectural acoustics simulation was conducted to examine the clear and uniform transmission of emergency broadcasting sound in a T junction corridor space. The sound absorption performance of the corridor space and the location and spacing of the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting were varied. The distribution of the sound pressure level and the distribution of sound transmission indices (STI, RASTI) were compared. The simulation showed that the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting should be installed approximately 10 m from the center of the T junction corridor connection for clear voice transmission. Narrowing the 25 m installation interval of the NFSC shows that an even clearer and sufficient volume of emergency broadcast sound can be delivered evenly.

This study of the vestibule of pressurizing smoke control system installed in domestic high-rise buildings for evacuation in case of fire, when the door is open to forming characteristics of the air flow was analyzed using fire dynamics simulator and analyzed of variance. Vestibule which is compartment of the design condition, air flow in the exhaust damper was formed severe turbulence confirming preceding research. The door position is in the range of formed vortex, unsteady flow of air occurs at the point that the door could be confirmed. According to the NFSC 501A, door to symmetrically separate the average of 10 points or more as measured from the average of wind speed to do is based. Under these conditions, it is difficult to measure the characteristics of the upper air flow of upper points. so measuring points are subdivided by more than 64 points method presented in TAB because severe deviation of wind speed.

In this study, in order to investigate whether or not the emergency broadcasting sound generated from an emergency broadcasting speaker is clearly transmitted to the occupant through architectural sound simulation, when the loudspeaker for emergency broadcasting is installed at intervals of 25 m according to NFSC 202 for a rectangular hallway. The sound pressure level and speech intelligibility index were analyzed according to changes in building finishing materials. With a reflective material finishing, sound pressure level satisfied the standard while speech intelligibility index was low. As a result of applying the sound absorbing material finishing, clarity and speech transmission index was improved to a level that could be understood by the occupant, whereas the sound pressure level delivered to the occupant decreased in the same space.

Our country automatic wet pipe sprinkler system of hydraulically designed system has not deviated from the pipe regulation process, therefore we face limitations when using an independent method to hydraulically designed system. Therefore. after reviewing a developed country's methods using the drainage-density concept, we found it necessary for our country to introduce the drainage-density concept. Currently, under the National Fire Safety Codes(NFSC), this does not solve the problem and the limitation of hydraulically designed system because different problems arise depending on where the head was installed. To make improvements, first, such as the developed country, overcome the difference by introducing the drainage-density concept to determine the amount of drainage. Second, by using diverse head caliber and decreasing the limits on the amounts of distribution, we can expect a leveling off of the drainage density. Third, using the increase of hydraulically designed system through the application of the rule to hydraulically designed system, finally, development to performance based fire protection design.

The purpose of this study is to identify and improve the performance of the adjacent room ventilation system in living room ventilation facilities, and compare and analyze the smoke control regulations of the NFPA code and the national fire safety standard (NFSC). The analysis method was fire dynamics simulation (FDS) and was used to analyze the, variations of the air supply amount, width of the boundary, change in indoor combustion and wind velocity of the incoming air. It was found to be advantageous to secure the clean layer when the amount of air supplied is less than the amount of discharged air in the fire room. However, in the supply room, it is more effective to secure the clean layer when the amount of supplied air is larger than the amount of discharged air, as a longer boundary width gives rise to better performance. In addition, it is necessary to consider the amount of air supplied and discharged as a function of the kind of flammable material. Moreover, decreasing the air inlet wind speed and amount of incoming air is advantageous for securing the clean layer of the fire room.

여객선의 선실(cabin)에 적용하기 위한 미분무 소화설비(water mist system)가 개발되었다. 미분무헤드는 8개의 오리피스로 구성된 조기반응 응답특성을 가진 폐쇄형으로, 사용압력과 유량계수(Flow constant)는 각각 1.4MPa과 13.1이다. IMO(국제 해사기구)의 거주구역 소화시스템 성능기준인 Resolution MSC.265(2008)는 선실 적용을 위해 4개의 화재시나리오에 대한 성능판정 기준을 제시하고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 4개의 화재시나리오를 적용한 실물화재실험을 수행하였으며, 이 기준에서 제시한 성능 판정기준을 만족하는 결과를 얻었다. 2011년 국가화재안전 기준 NFSC 104A 기준 정립으로 국내에 도입되기 시작한 미분무소화설비가 적용분야를 넓혀 가는데 도움이 되길 기대해 본다.
