Abstract
This paper describes a fire evacuation plan with elevator for the weak, like handicapped persons, babies, little children, and aged persons in residential building. In recent years, the number of high-rise residential buildings has been increasing. It is difficult for weak persons to take refuge from upper floors to the ground floor in the emergency like a fire. An evacuation using elevator for the weak is planed in a part of hospital or welfare facilities. But high-rise residential building is different from these building, and then it is difficult to establish leading and controlling organization for evacuation. We proposed emergency exclusive button service with priority zone service to solve those problems. We estimated the evacuation completion time. The estimation results shows that the evacuation completion time of the weak using elevator is almost same with it in of general persons on foot. We evaluate safety with rank-matrix method, and select building safety measures with the evaluation results.
