Study of TODs Tall Building Fire Evacuation: Refuge Floor Utilities

Abstract

Life safety has to be prior objective due to TODs tall buildings increment, for instance, mixed-use tower or integrated superblock estate, may cause fire accident. Refuge floor provision often met spatial issues according to define its configuration. Refuge floors are more relevant to the RSET factor because of the objectives. This study focused on identification of affecting factor using refuge floors with help of RSET factor from certain relevant three case studies of TODs tall buildings increment. The highlighted findings from certain case study plays important role to clarify the RSET factor on using refuge floor. Building height shows significant utility for refuge floor occupancies in accordance to refuge due to density control inside vertical egress.
