- Abstract
- Design considerations for smoke control systems have been addressed by numerous researchers and practicing engineers. However, papers discussing the actual observed performance of smoke control systems are less frequently encountered. The following three papers address the testing of smoke control systems from two perspectives. First, suggested procedures for testing smoke control systems are described relative to test methodology, system parameters requiring evaluation, and measurement systems. Second, the peformance of actual systems is described as observed in tests.
