Project Description

This alternative solution proposal pertains to the exposure condition analysis for the strategically identified locations within the above-noted building townhouse blocks based on the exiting requirements identified in the 2012 Ontario Building Code. This analysis was completed utilizing a thermal radiation analysis (TRA) software which conducts radiant heat flux calculations to demonstrate that the heat exposure to egressing occupants is below the tenable limits specified in referenced literature. This alternative solution proposal is intended to demonstrate that the proposed design will achieve the level of protection intended by the OBC, due to limited size of window openings and configuration relative to potential exposure of the exterior path of travel, considering the compartments are sprinklered.
