    This document provides requirements for smoke control ventilation systems for enclosed car parks in Qatar. It outlines performance requirements including minimum air changes per hour, design fire sizes and locations, acceptance criteria for visibility and temperature, and activation methods. Systems must be designed using computational fluid dynamics modeling. Exhaust fans must be configured such that single fan failure does not reduce airflow by more than 50% and have emergency power. Manual override and commissioning testing in the presence of a Civil Defence inspector are also required.

    MINIMUM REQUIERMENTS
    Subject:

    ENCLOSED CAR PARK SMOKE CONTROL


    VENTILATION SYSTEMS
    PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
    Item

    Provisions

    Car park smoke control ventilation systems using ducts that extract
    smoke from high level and low level (a minimum of 50% of the
    extraction area shall be at low level) designed in accordance with NFPA
    88A and the ASHRAE Handbook and providing 10 air changes per hour
    shall be deemed to comply with these requirements.

    Alternative solutions and systems using jet fans must be designed with
    the use of CFD fire modelling and the following input parameters.

    2.1

    For enclosed parking structures that permit only passenger cars (means
    of preventing goods vehicles must be detailed in the submission), the
    minimum design fire size shall be as follows.
    (a) For sprinkler protected car parks, 4 MW, 2m x 5m,

    requirements

    Design fire
    Passenger
    vehicles

    (b) For car parks without sprinklers, 8MW, 5m x 5m


    2.2

    For enclosed car parks that permit goods vehicles, the minimum steadystate single design fire must be 10 MW and the designer must justify
    why a larger size fire should not be assumed.

    2.3

    The assumed design fire shall be flaming polyurethane

    2.4

    The design fire must be in the most onerous location, usually the most
    remote location from the exhaust points and at a point in-between two
    zones for zoned systems.

    Goods vehicles

    Location of
    design fire

    The designer must provide justification for the selection of the most
    onerous location.
    2.5

    The following acceptance criteria at 1,8m above the floor level must be
    attained within a 10m radius of the design fires after 20 minutes.

    Acceptance
    criteria

    (a) Visibility must be a minimum of 10 m all other areas must be


    greater than 10m
    (b) Temperature of the smoke layer must not exceed 60 C
    2.6

    The duration of CFD simulation must be a minimum of 30 minutes.

    Grid size

    Grid size must be a maximum of 0.2m x 0.2m x 0.2m within 10m of the
    design fire and a maximum of 0.4m x 0.4m x 0.4m for all other areas.

    Notes

    Sensitivity study

    Exhaust fans

    (a) Must be configured such that failure of any single fan will not result
    in more than a 50% reduction of air flow.
    (b) Must have an alternate source of power such as emergency
    generator
    4

    Activation of the smoke control system must be automatic using either


    of the following initiating methods.
    (a) Sprinkler flow switch

    Activation of
    smoke control
    system

    (b) Smoke detection system


    (c) Heat detection system
    The designer shall consider the affects the ventilation system on the
    response of the sprinkler system. Justification must be provided to show
    that the ventilation system will not delay operation of the sprinkler
    system.
    5

    Manual override must be provided for all smoke control systems in the
    form of an illuminated rotary switch must be provided at the fire
    command centre to allow for the following modes of operation.

    Automatic

    Manual

    Off

    Where multiple levels of enclosed car parks are protected by the same
    ventilation system, the size of equipment and make-up air inlets and
    exhaust air outlets must be of adequate size to allow for simultaneous
    CO dilution of the adjacent zones and other levels at the minimum rate
    of 6 ACH.

    Provisions
    The commissioning and acceptance testing must be carried out in the
    presence of a QCD inspector. Such testing must consist of a hot smoke
    test, prepared and carried out in accordance with AS 4391. For jet fan
    systems, BS 7346, Part 7 may be used as a guide.
