Abstract
This is Part 2 of a two-part paper in which it is shown how the depressurisation design equations derived in Part 1 are sensitive to the atrium layer temperature, and hence to heat losses from the layer. A method of calculating the heat balance in glazed atria (in the event of fire) is outlined. Practical design strategies which take layer cooling into account are discussed. Finally, a general design procedure for smoke control in atrium buildings is given.
