Fire Protection Systems: Prescriptive vs Performance based Solutions

ABSTRACT This study aims to identify the most effectivesolution for fire protection systems in a 2396m² parking facility, comparing prescriptive and performance-based methodologies. Through CFD (FDS) simulations, it is found that prescriptive mechanical ventilation allows widespread smoke, impeding evacuation and firefighting. In contrast, performance-based solutions, especially those using natural ventilation,
