44 results about "Building evacuation" patented technology

In the method of the present invention an evacuation mode is presented in an elevator system, which receives destination calls i.e. operates in accordance with so-called destination control. In the method the destination floor calls given on the evacuation floors of the building are changed in the event of an exceptional incident such that the destination floor becomes an exit floor of the building. In the method the elevator car is filled as flail as possible on one floor and the travel time to the exit floor is minimized by directing the elevator car to the escape floor without intermediate stops. The passengers to be evacuated are shown information relating to the evacuation on a display located on the destination call panel and / or inside the car of the evacuation elevator.

A system and method for characterizing a building's (or building complex's) components, including all important entrances, egresses, and stairwells, collecting demographic information associated with locating people in a building, evacuating the building, and rescuing people still left in the building, etc., linking the building's components and demographic information to each other, and providing this information to authenticated users. The data can be made available through an internet connection, through a hand-held device, etc. Emergency workers and others can easily perform tasks such as directing building evacuation, dispatching other workers such as utility workers, and notifying neighbors, because the building's location, floor plan, emergency contacts, etc. are electronically interrelated.

The invention discloses a high-usability high-reliability and high-efficiency fire evacuation indicating system and a method. The system adopts a three-layer system structure formed by an evacuation indicating control host machine, passageway evacuation indicating control sub machines and passageway detection / indicating devices, wherein the passageway evacuation indicating control sub machines are positioned at stairs of each floor, each unit of the system exchanges information through an element interconnect bus (EIB), and the passageway detection / evacuation indicating devices are directly embedded into the control sub machines. Wireless backup communication is additionally added between the host machine and the sub machines (the passageway detection / evacuation indicating devices), and the integral reliability and the usability of the system are enhanced. The secondary threshold warning strategy of a composite fire hazard detector is adopted, a corresponding information processing method is used as an auxiliary measure, in addition, evacuation paths are continuously regulated according to the real-time fire conditions, the goals of shortening the warning time and reducing the mistake warning rate are reached, and the usability of the evacuation indicating system is further improved. The space positions of the detection / indicating devices are shown according to the floors on the basis of the three-dimensional geographical characteristics of the tall building evacuation paths, the building typical evacuation structure and the Dijkstra algorithm with an improved data structure are adopted, and the route planning efficiency of the escape route is improved.

An integrated building evacuation system includes an evacuation controller; a fire alarm system in communication with the evacuation controller; an HVAC system in communication with the evacuation controller; a security system in communication with the evacuation controller; an elevator system in communication with the evacuation controller; and an output device in communication with the evacuation controller; the evacuation controller receiving data from the fire alarm system, the HVAC system, the security system and the elevator system to generate an evacuation path, during an evacuation event, for occupants of a building in response to the data from the fire alarm system, HVAC system, security system and elevator system, the evacuation controller providing the evacuation path to the output device.

A method and apparatus to manage a building evacuation of at least one building occupant in response to an emergency event in a building is provided, the method including detecting the emergency eventvia at least one emergency sensor, providing an emergency event signal corresponding to the emergency event via the at least one emergency sensor to a building management system, and providing an alert to at least one occupant device associated with the at least one building occupant via the building management system, wherein the alert includes a building floor plan.

The invention discloses a high-polymer dust suppressant, belonging to the field of dust suppression. The high-polymer dust suppressant comprises a polymer molecule (C18H29O3S)m-(C3H5)n-(C3H4N)z, wherein m>=10, n>=115, and z>=15; and the polymer molecule has a spacial three-dimensional network structure. The high-polymer dust suppressant can prevent and treat open dust sources, can be widely used in coal / metal / nonmetal mining areas, mineral slag stock grounds, coal / ore powder transportation, mineral earthwork storage unloading areas, building evacuation, under-construction road way sides, thermal power plants, cement plants, steel plants, metallurgic plants, dust workshops, artificial beaches, desertification areas and other locations, has favorable wind erosion resistance and compression strength, can display the dust suppression effect for a long time, avoids environmental pollution caused by flying dust or abundant waste of resources (such as coal powder), and has the characteristic of environment friendliness.

The invention discloses an escape system for a high-rise building. An escape well is located in the high-rise building or affiliated outside the high-rise building; rails are arranged in the escape well; escape boxes slide downward in the escape well, and are internally equipped with first-aid materials; and people can self rescue or support for a period even if trapped. Compared with the prior art, the escape system for the high-rise building is applicable to the high-rise buildings in different conditions or different heights, can convey the people in the high-rise buildings to safe positions quickly, is simple and efficient, and can be recycled.
