Effect of Ventilation in Protected Escape Ways upon the Thermal Properties of these Spaces

Abstract:

Protected escape routes enable the rescuing of persons to the outside of a building on fire. They are characterized, in particular, by strict requirements relating to the aeration of such spaces. However, the fulfilling of these limits may impact the monitored thermal characteristics of the respective internal areas. The outlined dilemma will be illustrated by way of an example of a protected escape route aerated by positive-pressure ventilation.
