abstract="The control of smoke from fire in various occupancies and specialized building types is a topic that has been addressed by the Model Building Codes for a number of yeats. However, not until the last decade have the Model Codes attempted to address in detail the desired performance criteria as well as rigid specific design criteria for &quot;special&quot; occupancies such as covered malls, high-rise and atrium buildings. The Model Building Codes have developed specific requirements devoted entirely to these &quot;special&quot; buildings which possess inherently unique fire protection/ life safety problems with respect to other more conventional structures. The stipulated requirements for active and passive means of smoke control applicable to these three special occupancies will be discussed.<p />",
