Résumé

This paper presents a case study of a four-storey public building that contains a large internal atrium void. The ESD design for the building demands it to be internally "open" to allow free natural airflow, and to have minimum mechanical air-handling system. These are fundamentally in conflict with the Building Code of Australia prescribed requirements, which call for compartmentation and a high-volume smoke exhaust system. In order to resolve the conflicts, a fire engineering solution was developed. The key strategy was to utilise the atrium space as a smoke reservoir and to naturally vent smoke out of the building from the atrium roof. The roofline is raised to form a curved shape to protect the vent openings from adverse wind effects and to create wind suction to further drag smoke out of the building. Analyses of smoke flow and occupant evacuation for the building show that a high level of fire safety is achieved with the design, and that a fire engineering solution can be developed to commensurate with the ESD design.
