Forum 21 How Should 9/11 Change Smoke Control Design for Tall Buildings?
Tuesday, 10:15 am to 11:05 am, Rm. 213C
The events of Sept. 11, 2001, placed tall building design under greater scrutiny. A significant feature of tall building safety is the smoke control system. Should naturally ventilated smokeproof towers be planned instead of pressurized stairs for new construction? Should dedicated refuge floors be planned? Are dedicated firefighter elevators needed? The forum addresses these issues.
