3.3.2 Production Spaces

Figure 3.3.4 Requirements for rescue routes in production spaces

Every production space or storage room with more than 200 m² requires two exits

For multistory industrial buildings with a floor area of more than 1,600 m², a minimum of two physical rescue routes must be present in each story, preferably opposite each other

Figure 3.3.5 Options for heating production halls

From every point within a production space or storage room, at least one exit to the exterior, a compulsory stairwell, another fire compartment, or a firefighting section must be reachable: − within a maximum distance of 35 m for rooms with an average clear ceiling height of up to 5 m – within a maximum distance of 50 m for rooms with an average clear ceiling height of 10 m or more

Rescue routes for industrial buildings

Includes: Main aisles in production spaces and storage rooms; exits from these spaces to the exterior; compulsory stairs and corridors

Planning Architecture

Published on Oct 19, 2016

In formulating a design concept into a viable plan, architects oscillate constantly between two planes of observation: the actual design task in the context of planning typologies such as residential buildings, office buildings, museum, or airport, and the individual room, meaning the kitchen, office, classroom, sanitary rooms, storage rooms, and so on. Planning Architecture offers architects and students a well thought-out planning tool, in which two main sections reciprocally complement one another: the “spaces” and the “typologies” between which the planner can flexibly oscillate depending on his or her plane of observation. All relevant planning information is presented in a detailed clear fashion, and in context. These two sections are flanked by an introductory chapter explaining the basis and framework for typological design, as well as a “reference section” at the end of the book that clearly lists general dimensions and units, regulations and standards.
