Evacuation of Fire Compartment:Discussion on Evacuation Indication Design of Underground Garage with Decentralized Charging Piles
After reading the araticle Evacuation Indicating System Design of the Underground Garage Configured with Discrete Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure(published in Building Electricity,issue 3,2020),the fire evacuation plan of underground garage with decentralized charging facilities is discussed based on the existing code standard.Some key points to be clarified include:Based on a deep understanding of the concept of"evacuation",the concept of"evacuation"and"escape"should be distinguished,and the positioning of"evacuation design"should be closely related to the concept of"evacuation";according to the organization evacuation by the fire compartment,the evacuation plan should be determined based on the fire compartment before the evacuation indication system is designed;the fire evacuation function of underground garage driveway and the control method of descent in two steps of fire shutter should be fully understood;the different functions of the"interconnected gates"opened on the partition wall of the fire protection unit should be properly identified and the exit sign luminaire should be installed on the evacuation door;the architectural design intention and its meaning of"utilization of adjacent fire compartment evacuation"should be fully understood;the"No Entry"sign luminaire should be used with caution.
