Due to the economic booms in Taiwan, huge buildings were constructed frequently and with more versatility in use. Which makes the fire protection and egress becoming a more important issue.
In evaluating the smoke management and egress effectiveness, the method published by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI), or named as Route B, was widely adapted in Taiwan. However, when using this method in evaluating rooms with less than 200 square meters, difficulty existed due to the lower ceiling height and fixed internal heat released rate. It is the goal of this research to analyze the feasibility in adapting a ¡§Simplified Zone Model¡¨ for this purposes.
In this research, various mathematical models were analyzed and compared first, followed by quantitative comparison with smoke descending rates calculated by both methods. It is concluded that the Simplified Zone model is suitable for evaluating rooms with floor area less than 200 square meters. Otherwise, the Route B method as proposed by the MOI is appropriate as expected.
