Scale 1:100 (meters)
The dimensions of the quiet space must be such as to be able to accommodate all disabled occupants of the floor in compliance with the minimum gross surfaces indicated, i.e. 0,70 m2/ambulatory person and/or 2,25 m2/non-ambulatory person.
Calm Space
The calm space, by definition of the Fire Prevention Code is a temporary safe place where the occupants can wait for assistance to complete the escape to a safe place. Therefore, since it is a particular safe place, again by definition this is a place inside or outside the buildings in which there is no imminent danger for the occupants who are staying or passing through in the event of a fire.
In other words, it is a compartmentalized room (at least REI30 and with closing elements at least E30-Sa) within which all those occupants for whom it is impossible to leave the building via the vertical escape routes can access and wait for help. In some cases it is possible to obtain it inside the protected stairwell, while in others a dedicated room is foreseen.
The definition in the new version of the code
Quiet Space: In order to allow occupants to wait and receive assistance, the quiet space must:
a) be adjacent to and communicating with an escape route or inserted into it, without constituting an obstacle to the escape;
b) have dimensions such as to be able to accommodate all the occupants of the floor who need it, in compliance with the minimum surfaces per occupant.
Temporary safe place: a place where the risk of fire for the occupants staying or passing through it is temporarily negligible; this risk refers to a fire in specified areas of the activity, other than the place considered.
