Because of their height and their large occupant populations, high-rises require the careful provision of life-safety systems.
This paper documents a process of combining disparate field studies of commercial buildings into a larger occupant behavior database and generating a statistically similar synthetic data set that can be shared without compromising confidentiality requirements associated with field studies.
"It's the most comprehensive regulation we've seen relative to crashes," said James Khoury, manager of advanced safety engineering at G.M. David Clark, a safety engineer at Ford, said, "You can imagine the number of test considerations and evaluations -- small occupants, belted or unbelted, middle-sized occupants, large occupants, all the different crash scenarios".
We were the fourth-largest occupant of the first tower, with a third of our employees based there — 12 of them died.
To make up these drawbacks, this paper presents a large-scale occupant survey in first generation green buildings in China.
To incorporate and account for occupancy, most simulation tools use fixed design profiles that are based on statistical methods, which use large-scale occupant surveys and/or observations from a number of similar buildings.
Still, it's designed to be plugged in at dog height so its view of any larger home occupants is probably going to be pretty partial.
The results show that the supply air velocity has a remarkable effect on air distribution characteristics of the large space and occupant zone velocity.
However, it is also observed that the heat release rate has little effect on air distribution of large space and occupant zone velocity.
For the acceleration/deceleration performance, which has a large effect on occupant comfort, when the lane was changed during tracking and the preceding vehicle sped up, the acceleration performance satisfied the need for a smooth feeling of acceleration with a short response delay.
