Recently, several major incidents occurred in worldwide metro and subway systems due to inadequate or inappropriate emergency procedures. In this study, the traditional and innovative metro underground stations were analyzed utilizity the CFAST and FDS computer program. A comparative study has been conducted to evaluate the smoke descending rate, and temperature distribution, etc with addressable zoned smoke control system. Dynamic egress analysis was followed to validate the NFPA 130 which was taken as the design guidelines to evaluate the evacuation time using SIMULEX program. Finally, the smoke management design and egress system was integrated, which warrants its qpplication in actual engineering designs.

The objective to this bachelor degree project was to redesign a structure of the doors and add windows of a convertible car. This was carried out in collaboration with the company Hurtan Desarrollos S.L. To establish the requirements for the design, initial studies were performed: a literature review, a benchmark of related products and a study of standard car door designs. After this the final requirements were defined and the concept generation design phase was begun. In this phase a number of design methods were applied. The design concepts were systematically evaluated in respect to if, and to what degree, the concepts met the defined demands and needs of the design. The final concepts were completed with the demands of the company to obtain the results. In order to define, create and communicate ideas and solutions, the design was modelled in Solidworks software and exported to Creo Parametric 2.0 to create the final renders. Once the overall design was defined, materials and accessories were specified. The final result is presented in detail in photorealistic renderings and a physical design made by Hurtan Desarrollos S.L.

Today’s construction buildings contain more advanced technologies than before. The development of newer and stricter regulations to the construction industry makes the door environment more and more complex. In large construction projects the door environment is held up as a major challenge to get to in a good way. It turned out after a discussion with one project manager and a site manager at NCC, that the door environment is difficult to get right in major construction projects and it often causes many error reports in to the aftermarket after that the final inspection is completed. Interviews have been done with key figures in the building process at NCC and Akademiska hus. A study on a university building for around 3500 students and with 300 workplaces was made. There were a lot of data with fault reports to the go trough to find fault report from doors and be analyzed and statistic. The results from the data collection showed that many fault messages on the doors in was caused by the door operator. And from the interviews the content was clear that the coordination has to be good to have a functioning and a good door environment. One part that can contribute to a better door environment is to plan space for possible door operator over the door. Another part is that the construction documents which production workers are working with, is to find a way to always have the latest documents in hand.

This work deals with the determination of the quality of implementation measures airtightening main airtightening layer wooden building. Diagnostics of air tightness of the building envelope was conducted thermography measurement thermal imager Flir S65 in artificially induced pressure inside the space defined by the main airtightening layer. Further measuring was performed air tightness of the building envelope using Blower door test. The results of the test determine intensity of air exchange, which is compared with the requirement to assessment the energy performance of buildings. The paper also outlines the influence of the quality airtightening measures to the air exchange rate and the life of wooden buildings.

This dissertation analyses airtightness of residential buildings which in many ways influences their energy performance and therefore also their costs of use. Properly conducted airtightening layer can significantly extend the lifespan of the construction. The main objective of the dissertation is to evaluate the construction of newly built buildings in the Czech Republic and to assess the most important parameters which affect airtightness. The Blower-door test was used to assess air leakage. This method belongs among the most widely used and conclusive methods of analysis. Its advantage is mainly the fact that it can detect construction defects of the airtightening layer in important stages of construction (and possibly enable these defects to be corrected before completion). The core of this method is to create a pressure difference of deltap 50 Pa between the exterior and the interior of the building and at the same time discover the faulty places which are different for positive and negative pressure. The air leakage was assessed in 345 residential buildings constructed between 2006 and 2016, especially in conventional wood frame buildings or with buildings made from wood panels such as cross-laminated timber. The development of values of air change rate through the building envelope was evaluated according to the Czech standard ČSN 73 0540-2 and the results were compared to previous outcomes of other authors. Analysis and photo documentation of the most frequently detected leakage points are also part of the dissertation. A significant decrease in values of the air change rate was discovered, on average by 40.49% in 2016 compared to 2006, while for passive houses the air change rate values were almost steady. For buildings with wood frame construction, it was the way of ventilation which was determined as the most significant parameter affecting air leakage. For wooden buildings with natural or combined ventilation, the average value of air change rate at the pressure difference of 50 Pa was 1,29 h-1, for buildings with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery it was 1,18 h-1 and for buildings with very low energy consumption for heating with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery it was 0,44 h-1. Other parameters affecting the values of air leakage include the construction company, the presence of a chimney, the place and method of construction of the wood frame construction.

Doors and their surroundings are an important part in all kinds of buildings. Projecting of door is a natural part of the construction process and requires a great deal of collaboration between several participants to meet the requirements for function, safety and the environment together.This project aims to examine the requirements for the projecting of door environments and the most common mistakes that exist during the different stages of the construction process. Furthermore, a process of work is developed which improves workflow and minimizes mistakes, from purchasing consultant to handover.To achieve these, the following issues have been addressed: • Who can perform door planning in the best possible way? • Who should be responsible for door environments during different parts of the construction process? • What are the requirements for projecting of door environments? • How can the cooperation be done in the best between the different parties? The main part of this work has been interviews and meetings with people from different areas of work that affect door environments in their daily work. In addition to interviews, a fair visit to Nordbygg 2018 has been made to get a better view of the problems regarding door environments for the suppliers. A visit to the new Karolinska Hospital area was also done, where the most common mistakes and shortcomings were identified for an ongoing project.Respondents had mixed thoughts and opinions, but it appears from interviews that door environments are a complex part that is difficult to establish. There are several reasons, such as insufficient knowledge of the whole work, as many are limited in their field of work. Lack of knowledge leads to project missions, which in turn leads to surprises and slowdowns further in the process. The results of the study have shown that communication and coordination between different participants throughout the work process should be improved. It also appears that claims from the client should be clearer at the beginning of the projecting phase.The potential for developing door projecting based on occupational safety, considerations, IN3PRENÖR AB is recommended to clarify accounting tools and working methods as well as documents and supporting documents as early as possible during the work process to create a workflow and support for future work.
