狭窄房屋的火灾生存?
I was perusing Treehugger.com and came across one of their April Fools articles. (http://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/tall-plastic-future-building-america.html)其中有一个UL视频,显示了与用“天然”材料制成的旧样式家具相比,YouTube关于部分中所述的速度更快的现代家具(由YouTube关于部分的冷冻汽油制成)。这让我思考了空气紧密的房屋在大火中的表现。我很快意识到,即使是理论方式,我也绝不有资格回答这个问题。因此,我的问题基本上是有任何火灾(官方或其他方式)可能表明一个狭窄的房屋可能生存(人类不一定是构造)?

I have never heard that low rates of air leakage through your building envelope either increase or decrease the time frame for escaping from a building fire. The amount of air needed to encourage the draft of a raging fire is on a different order of magnitude from the volume of air leaking through building cracks.
我对此事的直觉是,如果有的话,那是几秒钟的大小。我的理解是,火灾中最大的生命威胁是吸入烟雾。威胁生命的大火仍会产生更多的烟雾,甚至是一个非常漏水的房屋所能撤离的烟雾。
我想我的主要关注点是,密封房屋井可能会影响房屋中的火灾的行为,因此需要撤离时间。
无论如何,我认为它不会改变(我认为是)安装设计良好的住宅洒水系统的最佳实践。无论如何,这可能真的很重要。
烟雾会在大火之前杀死您。烟雾警报越多越好。检测到更快并出去。
洒水装置是伟大的想法,但我不能说有多好they stop the smoke in the early stages of a fire from reaching dangerous levels, Sprinklers do require a fair amount of heat before tripping.
Scottsdale made sprinklers mandatory in the late 90s for residential buildings. It was part of their fire department staffing process. I think some other areas have the same requirement.
唐纳德(Donald),洒水装置是避免财产损失(也会造成一些)的好方法,但是它们在挽救房屋中生命的价值并不是那么好。当生活在有工作的烟雾探测器的房屋中,洒水器的房屋中生存的机会增加的机会仅为0.44%。
我领域的马尔科姆(医疗保健).44%是一个重要发现。也就是说,您碰巧知道烟气受伤的区别(如果有的话),在房屋中,有工作烟雾探测器与也有洒水系统的房屋的房屋大火?
不,对不起,我不。也许我应该充实该统计数据,以便您知道.44是否值得。您有99.45%的机会在配备有工作烟雾报警器的房屋中幸免于难。安装洒水系统上升到99.98%。两种方法之间的成本增加接近100倍。
Malcolm: If your numbers are right and I understand your statistics correctly, in 10,000 structure fires, we can expect 55 deaths in houses wth working detectors, and 2 deaths in sprinklered houses. At $5000 to sprinkler a new house, spending $50 million saves 53 lives, or about $1 million each.
I'm early in the design process for a new house. I'll spend the money on sprinklers and skip the Sub-Zero fridge.
斯蒂芬,我希望我不会劝阻任何人放洒水器,但这不是一个直接的决定。绝大多数火灾发生在较旧的结构中 - 恰恰是那些不也不会被洒水的大火。相比之下,新的符合代码的房屋非常安全。
一旦删除了旧建筑物固有的风险,剩下的最大因素是乘员行为。吸烟,蜡烛,使用故障的电器,烹饪火灾等。
So really it seems to me that there are two distinct decisions around sprinkler use. Do they help save lives in general? And will they save my life in my new home knowing how I live?
There are several downsides to sprinklers. As this winter has shown they are prone to freezing, especially during power failures and can cause flooding. The cost is also usually well over that you mention. I received a quote for almost the same amount which was just for the design of a system for a large house.
