All fire systems which are located in the studied fire compartments (floors) were taken into account in the numerical model, i.e. In the scope of the fire analysis, three key (reference) floors were analyzed using PyroSim software. The study data were also used to prepare a fire safety statement for the concerned building. Furthermore, a comparison of the fire study performed as a part of this thesis and an existing study that was carried out in accordance with the Swiss VKF guidelines is presented.

The fire safety analysis of the Crystal Palace was performed in line with the most recent applicable Slovenian laws, and technical guidelines TSG-1-001:2010 and MHHR (Muster-Hochhaus-Richtlinie, 2008). The BIM model of the building was optimized in a way it could be directly imported into the software for fire and evacuation analysis. A BIM model of the entire building was generated (Archicad) to be used with the software for fire (PyroSim) and evacuation analysis (Pathfinder).

A fire safety analysis was performed on a model of the Crystal Palace skyscraper, which, at 89 meters, is the tallest building in Slovenia today (2016). This master’s thesis comprehensively explores fire safety in high-rise buildings.
