Assessment of Total Evacuation Systems for Tall Buildings

Building evacuation strategies are a critical element in high-rise building fi re safety.
Research to date has focused on elevators and exit stairs; however, there is a need to apply this research to relocation and vacuation systems, which may include combinations of these two exit strategies as well as new egress components such as sky-bridges for tall buildings.
Accordingly, the Fire Protection Research Foundation initiated this project with the objective to study possible improvements to life safety of tall buildings through an investigation of occupant relocation and evacuation strategies involving the use of exit stairs, elevators, sky-bridges and combinations thereof. The study consists of a review and compilation of existing information on this topic as well as the conduct of case study simulations of a multi-component exit strategy. This review provides the architectural design, regulatory, and research communities with a more thorough understanding of the current and emerging evacuation procedures and possible
future options.
