Module 2: Smoke Control Systems for Large Volume Spaces Self Guided Online Course

This self-paced online course covers the principles and practices of designing smoke control systems for large interior spaces like atriums, covered malls, and indoor stadiums. In these types of spaces smoke can accumulate and potentially endanger occupants even if the open space is remote from the fire origin. Smoke control systems can alleviate this danger.

Upon completion you should be able to:

• Understand common examples of large volume spaces that require smoke control systems
• Understand the principles of fire plumes and smoke filling
• Recognize smoke control methods available for large volume spaces
• Be familiar with principles of automatic detection used to activate smoke control systems
• Understand factors that are important to consider in smoke control system design
• Be aware of available design tools
• Be comfortable in applying algebraic design equations to a simple smoke control system design

Who Will Benefit:
Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing fire protection systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, fire marshals, and architects
