Hotel fire safety and compartmentation
Fire compartmentalization in hotels plays a crucial role in providing an additional layer of fire protection. In these buildings, where the concentration of people is high and common areas are numerous, it is essential to keep fire and smoke under control. The goal is to prevent them from spreading rapidly throughout the building, ensuring the safety of guests and staff, as well as protecting property.
In this context, the approximate occupancy of visitors and employees, the heterogeneity of functionalities and structural elements, along with large open areas, become the main challenges of fire protection in hotels. Additionally, the temporary nature of hotel users, who are often unfamiliar with the premises, makes evacuation and having clear, well-defined routes vitally important.
