Abstract: This thesis examines the problem of smoke spread via ventilation ducts to adjacent room(s) in case of a compartment fire. The main goal is to examine the possibility of operating the fans during different fires in four types of buildings (compartments, hospitals, offices and hotels) and to estimate the risk of smoke spread in different conditions.
