Smoke Outlet for basement

2008-11-28 8:38 pm
Under MOA 18.1(d)(i) lobbies at basement should be individually ventilated by separate smoke outlet. It is clear under MOA. However I have a little problem for the smoke outlet as stipulated in FRC. According to FRC para 15.2 & 15.3, which of the following(s) is/are correct?

A. Every compartment on a floor of basement shares a smoke outlet.
(e.g. 2-storey basement have two smoke outlets + two additional smoke outlets for each lobbies in Firefighting and Rescue Stairway (FRS), disregard the total nos. of compartment)

B. Every compartment have individual smoke outlet provided that each compartment does not exceed 3500 m3 of compartment volume. (plus individual smoke outlet for lobbies in FRS)

C. The entire basement shares a single smoke outlet which covers all compartments in case the aggregate of compartment volume is less than 3500 m3. (plus individual smoke outlet for lobbies in FRS)


In addition according to FRC 15.3, "at least one smoke outlet for every 3500 m3 of compartment volume", is this "every 3500 m3" refer to a single compartment in basement or an area in aggregate of all compartments in basement?

Thanks a lot!!

To my understanding, the FRC 15.2 & 15.3 stated that a compartment shall have an individual smoke outlet.

The 15.3 also stated that no compartment shall exceed 3500m3. That 3500m3 shall refer to a single compartment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.2 (c) be provided to every compartment in the basement;

15.3 (a) have at least one smoke outlet for every 3500 m3 compartment volume; but in no case less than 1 outlet per floor;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A – Incorrect, since compartment can’t share a smoke outlet, violate 15.2

B- Correct – 1compartment 1 outlet (provided that not exceeding 3500m3, otherwise should separated into compartments < 3500 m3)

C- Incorrect – “all compartments” means more than 1 compartment, also violate 15.2

Dear welcon9009,

I appreciate your kind concern on the public health... However I need to clarify the "smoke" in my question is the smoke caused by combustion in case of fire instead of smoking(吸煙).

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

This is not a answer but rather a complaint. Since smoking is not
allowed in public area, in alley, basement or other places regarding
not as public, contain all the smoke that nearly suffocate people
around. Smokers are so selfish why not go out to the street for
fresh air there. Law must stop any smoking in house !!!!
