A computer model that can assist designers in evaluating a smoke management system for an atrium or a covered mall was developed recently. The algorithm, which is the result of an initial effort to adapt zone modeling for atrium applications, could become an ASHRAE design tool. Evolution into such a standard tool requires validation of the numerical algorithm to assess its appropriateness for evaluating smoke management systems in spaces with large volumes and tall ceilings.
