Smoke control in
car parks
The actual situation in CEN
TC 191 SC1 WG9
Both systems
will be
covered by
the European
standard
ducted
systems as
well as jet fan
systems
Scope
This standard gives minimum design,
installation and commissioning
requirements for powered smoke and heat
control systems for enclosed car parks, with or
without sprinkler protection, on one or more
levels, for cars and light commercial vehicles
(max 3,5 T), to reach the design objectives
outlined in this standard.
This standard is applicable for cars powered by
petrol or diesel or other fuels which will have a
fire performance similar to vehicles powered by
petrol or diesel.
This standard only covers traditional means of
single vehicle parking, that is, those car parks
with cars parked alongside each other with
common access roadways/lanes for cars to be
driven in and out.
Scope
It does not cover other forms of car parking
systems, such as stacking systems.
Smoke and heat control systems for lorry
parks and coach parks are not covered by
this standard.
This standard covers systems intended
1. to provide smoke clearance after a fire
(system 1),
2. to assist active fire!fighting operations
(system 2),
3. to protect the means for occupants to escape
from the car park (system 3)
Controls of and power supplies to the smoke
control system are included.
This standard does not cover requirements
for normal day!to!day ventilation
CEN TC191
SC1 WG9
So far we had 10 meetings in EUROPE and
2 more meetings planned in 2011 (Antwerp &
Paris)
The activities started in December 2008
Participating countries:
Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany,
Italy, Poland, Spain, The Netherlands,
Luxemburg and UK
At this moment we have about 125
documents into our portfolio
A TG1 has been created within CEN TC191
SC1 WG9
Will deal with the parts of the standard
dealing with CFD
Chaired by Grzegorz SZTARBALA from
Poland
A first draft based on the Belgian
Standard & British standards had
been prepared and discussed
After discussion and analysis of this
draft text we came to the conclusion
that these two standards where
mainly based on inspired
guessworkand that it was not
possible to adopt a calculation
method as such
Also some problems occur when we
started to discuss the Fire Sizes for
cars
To proceed with the discussions and make a final choice regarding
Fire sizes we have invited Daniel JOYEUX from EFECTIS France who
had been involved into a major research program in 1999 at CTICM
and Martin SHIPP from BRE - FRS who recently lead the recent
research in UK
CTICM HRR BRE TESTS
Further to these both presentations it
was agreed to use following values
for HRR:
Single burning car = 4 MW (Sprinklered
fire)
Two cars burning = 8 MW
Three cars burning = 10 MW
A 3 option approach has been
suggested:
Steady state
Standard 3 car time dependent curve
Special time dependent curved based on
1st and subsequent curves from CTICM
In order to proceed with the
calculation procedure it has been
agreed to adopt the method
published in 1999
Extending the principles of
Impulse Ventilation in Tunnels to
apply to Smoke Control in Car
Parks

This calculation method allows to
calculate the horizontal spread of the
ceiling jet under the ceiling and takes
into account the type of ceiling
present in the car park.
The velocity of the ceiling jet will vary
if there is a flat ceiling,a ceiling with
transversal beams or longitudinal
beams

Situation with longitudinal beams Situation with a flat ceiling
Situation with transversal beams
We are very hopeful that in addition
to the results of the CTICM research
and FRS/ BRE research we also will
be able to utilize the results of a
large research program which takes
place in Gent at Ugent which will
certainly validate everything we have
so far!
Fire IVRY/
SEINE (level
-3)
This fire started in Paris on 31/10/2009
in an underground car park under a
residential building was announced in
the press as been a fire where 200
cars where destroyed
Each level had an area of 3600 m" and
was separated in two areas of about
1.800 m" separated by a fire door
All the levels had separated boxes
where the owners could park their cars
This building was situated in an area
where a lot of vandalism takes place
and therefore most of the people did
not want to park their car in the
garages anymore
Fire IVRY/
SEINE (level
-3)
Most of the garage boxes have been
used as a storage room(see photos)
with a high fire risk potential
The investigation suspect that this fire
is a criminal fire as they found two
ignition sources
They have fires in this building very
regularly
This fire lasted 5 hours
The fire started at level -3 and
spreaded towards levels -2 & -1
through the dilatation joints and
probably also through conduction in
several garages baring in mind the high
potential risk
Fire IVRY/
SEINE (level
-3)
The Paris Fire Brigade have
extinguished the fire by injecting foam
through the ventilation ducts
37 cars have been destroyed by this
fire (and not 200 !!) as stated in the
press
