Introduces the student to smoke control needs, design approaches and analytical methods. Students should develop an understanding of the performance characteristics and limitations of smoke control systems and the capabilities and limitations of analytical design aids. This course gives students an opportunity to integrate a broad range of information from previous courses with material from this course, such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and fire dynamics, and fire modeling. Students will review data from past experimental programs and apply computer model(s).

This on-line course addresses the fundamentals of fire risk modeling from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
