more than five children 21/2 years of age or less shall be classified as Group I-2.
2A.8.4 Group I-3. This occupancy shall include buildings and structures that are
inhabited by more than five persons who are under restraint or security. An I-3

Buildings of Group I-3 shall be classified as one of the occupancy conditions
indicated in Sections 2A.8.4.1 through 2A.8.4.5 (see Section 2B.8.1).
2A.8.4.1 Condition 1. This occupancy condition shall include buildings in which free
movement is allowed from sleeping areas, and other spaces where access or
occupancy is permitted, to the exterior via means of egress without restraint. A
Condition 1 facility is permitted to be constructed as Group R.
2A.8.4.2 Condition 2. This occupancy condition shall include buildings in which free
movement is allowed from sleeping areas and any other occupied smoke
compartment to one or more other smoke compartments. Egress to the exterior is
impeded by locked exits.
2A.8.4.3 Condition 3. This occupancy condition shall include buildings in which free
movement is allowed within individual smoke compartments, such as within a
residential unit comprised of individual sleeping units and group activity spaces,
where egress is impeded by remote-controlled release of means of egress from
such a smoke compartment to another smoke compartment.
2A.8.4.4 Condition 4. This occupancy condition shall include buildings in which free
movement is restricted from an occupied space. Remote-controlled release is
provided to permit movement from sleeping units, activity spaces and other
occupied areas within the smoke compartment to other smoke compartments.
2A.8.4.5 Condition 5. This occupancy condition shall include buildings in which free
movement is restricted from an occupied space. Staff-controlled manual release is
provided to permit movement from sleeping units, activity spaces and other
occupied areas within the smoke compartment to other smoke compartments.

أنظمة التحكم بالدخان
SMOKE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
ينتشر دخان الحريق في أنحاء المبنى نتيجة اختالف ضغط الھواء بين مكان نشوب الحريق وبين المناطق
المختلفة في المبنى حيث ال يوجد عالقة مباشرة بين شدة حرارة الحريق وكمية الدخان الناجم وبين سرعة
انتشاره ھذا وتعتمد كمية الدخان على نوعية المادة المحترقة وكمية األكسجين المتوفرة وتعتمد سرعة انتشاره
على اختالف ضغوط الھواء.
حيث ينتقل الدخان من مكان الحريق إلى المناطق األخرى في المبنى من خالل فتحات موجودة في ھيكل المبنى
والتي تشمل:
-التشققات في البناء.
-الفتحات الموجودة في الجدران واألرضيات واألسقف والتي تمر من خاللھا مواسير انظمة الخدمات
ومجارى التكييف وكابالت الكھرباء.

وھي ضخ الھواء الجديد بإستخدام االنظمة الميكانيكية في جميع المناطق المتاخمة للمنطقه الحادث فيھا الحريق
و كذلك في الدور االعلي و االسفل كاملين بحيث تكون ھذه المناطق ذات ضغط موجب يمنع الدخان من التسلل
إليھا .
وھي أعمال ضخ الھواء الجديد بإستخدام االنظمة الميكانيكية في جميع الفتحات الراسيه في المبنى ) المصاعد و
ساللم الھروب بحيث تكون ھذه المناطق ذات ضغط موجب ليمنع الدخان من االنتقال عبرھا إلي أالدوار االعلي
و االسفل.
وھي عملية ضخ ھواء جديد في في منطقة حدوث الحريق لتسھيل عمل سحب الدخان و يكون ذلك في حدود

-1ساللم الھروب
روعي بالتصميم ضغط ساللم الھروب بالھواء المجدد باستخدام أنظمة ميكانيكية )مراوح ضغط ھواء( لزيادة
ضغط الھواء بھا عنالمناطق المحيطة منعا ً لتسرب الدخان الي داخل المھرب.
**وكمية الھواء الالزمة لضغط سلم الھروب في حالة نشوب الحريق وتحدد بالمعادلة التالية:
Ae= Leakage Area from the Space (m2), Aa= Area of opened door (m2),
)n = Leakage Factor for Small Area: Window - Cracks - Etc. (n = 2

وكما بالمرفق ) (ME-SM-04مساحة تسريب الھواء من خالل االبواب معتمدة على نوعية الباب

وتم تزويد جميع ساللم الھروب بمراوح لضغط الھواء متغيرة السرعة تعمل بمجرد تلقي اشارة من نظام إدارة
المبنى BMSالمتصل معه حساسات إستشعارالدخان بالمبنى.
وفي حال إرتفاع الضغط تبعا لعدد األبواب المفتوحة عن قيمة محددة يقوم )V.F.Dمغير السرعة بالتحكم فى

مراوح لضخ الھواء الجديد فى حالة نشوب الحريق من دور السطح وحتى دور القبو.
حيث أنه من الممكن استخدام المصاعد في الھروب شريطة أن يكون ذلك بإشراف رجال الدفاع المدنى أو
المسئولين عن إخالء المبنى.
-تكييف غرف األجھزة للمصاعد حتى ال ترتفع درجة الحرارة عن الدرجة المسموح بھا لھذه األجھزة.
