NFPA 92B(05)
Standard for Smoke Management Systems in Malls, Atria, and Large Areas

57 pp., 2005
$48.00


Make sure smoke management systems are effective in today's state-of-the-art structures.

Follow NFPA 92B 's technical requirements relevant to the design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of new and retrofitted smoke management systems in buildings with large-volume spaces, such as atria and covered malls.

Now a fully adoptable Standard, NFPA 92B brings you the latest requirements.

Major changes from the previous edition include all-new artwork to illustrate concepts, plus:

  • Revised requirements concerning the minimum number of exhaust inlets
  • Revised system testing requirements
  • New information on the use of CFD and zone models for the design and evaluation of smoke management systems
  • Added data on conditions under which the mass flow rate from communicating spaces needs to be considered in calculating smoke exhaust
  • Revised concept of smoke barriers
  • Updated limitations on certain calculation methodologies
  • Updated equations reflecting the state of the art in the industry

The Standard is presented in NFPA's user-friendly style and is consistent with other National Fire Codes® documents.
