Abstract

In Korea, measures to maintain sustainable fire safety performance for apartment buildings are insufficient in terms of fire-fighting products, skilled personnel, and maintenance status. Also, because of the particular features of a fire compartment, it has structural problems that are very likely to cause damage to human life when a fire occurs. Currently, problems with the fire supervisory system installed in an apartment building cannot be checked in real time, so it is difficult to identify the location of a fire accurately. Protected areas are also not assigned to each household, and residents cannot be clearly informed of the occurrence of a fire. As a consequence, safety evacuation cannot be secured. In addition, it is impossible to test the operation performance for water detectors in sprinkler fire extinguishing systems outside of the household. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of a remote fire supervisory system. The results show that the system satisfies all performance requirements. Also, an household alarm system was installed in each household to alert of any occurrence of a fire accurately, and the performance of the alarm system was improved to ensure that residents were quickly evacuated.

국내 공동주택의 지속가능한 화재안전성능을 유지하고 확보하기 위한 대책은 일반 소방대상물에 비해 우수한 소방제품의 적용, 기술인력 확보, 관리실태 등에서 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 화재 시 방호공간의 특성상 인명피해가 발생할 가능성이 높은 구조적인 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재 공동주택에 설치된 화재시스템의 문제점은 각 세대에 설치된 화재감지기의 성능을 실시간 확인할 수 없으며, 경계구역이 세대별로 설정되어 있지 않아 정확한 화재발생지점을 파악하기 어렵고, 거주자가 화재발생을 확실하게 인지할 수 없는 상태로 안전한 대피를 하지 못하는 실정이다. 또한 세대 외부에서 스프링클러소화설비의 유수검지장치 작동성능시험을 할 수 없는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개발한 원격화재시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 실험을 실시하였으며, 성능실험결과 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 각 세대마다 세대경보장치를 설치하여 화재발생을 정확하게 경보할 수 있도록 하여 거주자가 신속히 대피할 수 있는 경보장치의 성능을 개선하였다.
