NFPA 204: Standard for Smoke and Heat Venting
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
NFPA | 2018 | 96 |
This standard establishes guidelines for the design of venting systems for the emergency venting of products of combustion from fires in buildings. Both manual and computer-modeled solution methods are incorporated to help designers meet selected performance objectives related to a specific building and a specific set of circumstances.
