Atrium At Summer

SGH provided engineering services to support the design of a performance-based smoke control system for the residential building. Highlights of our work include:

• Defining fire scenarios, tenability criteria, and system performance objectives
• Performing preliminary calculations to inform exhaust and supply system sizing
• Developing computational fluid dynamics models using Fire Dynamics Simulator to evaluate fire scenarios and system configurations
• Coordinating with the design team to optimize smoke management strategies and prepare a code-compliant smoke control rational analysis demonstrating compliance with NYC Construction Code requirements
• Presenting findings and design recommendations to the project team
• Helping develop final documentation submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction
