Smoke and Heat Control COST

PRIMARY EFFECTS Heat effects: Smoke effects: Building structures People (burn injuries) Smoke effects: People (toxicity)

ISSUES Different building and safety regulation and philosophy Fire size (area and heat release rate) Performance based in any countries Conservative in any counries Calculation methods, and differently weighted parameters Storage high Smoke section size Fire compartment size Effects of the water suppression systems Different factor in calculation in different countries Handling of the cooling effect isn't regulated but the important of it is known everywhere

EFFECTS OF THE ISSUES Different logistic base buildings and capacities These deviations have remarkable effects on transportation Lack of uniform approach building material are really various for nonuniform buildings, so the usage of module system building construction, isn't perfectly exploited.

SUGESSTIONS Analyzing of current regulations Europe-wide Evolve a uniform optimized method

EFFECTS OF SUGESSTIONS Buildings as logistic units The construction and design of buildings can be more efficient where the investments extend across Europe Increase the level of safety
