Project Description:

This project is focused on ensuring occupant safety in the new BWI concourse A/B connector in the event of a fire scenario through fire protection measures. Our design uses a combination of smoke partitions and curtains in order to allow occupants enough time to egress landside. Occupant egress modeling (Pathfinder) and CFD fire modeling (PyroSim) were used in order to prove our solutions met guidelines set by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
