Some people cannot use stairwells because of physical disabilities, and for these people fire evacuation is a serious problem. This paper summarizes the findings of a joint project of the u.s. National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Research Council of Canada. Results indicate that many types of elevator smoke control systems can be designed to provide acceptable levels of pressurization even under severe conditions of doors opening and closing.
