BFRL Supports High Fidelity Model of Pentagon

The Building and Fire Research Laboratory is helping to support the Pentagon Protection Program; to develop the next generation protection system for CBR (chemical-biological-radiological) defense of the building. The Program focuses on active and passive HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) strategies and automated evacuation guidance systems. A sensing system is being linked to near real-time high fidelity internal and external models to allow tracking and prediction of contaminant transport, which will then guide system responses. The BFRL airflow and contaminant transport model, CONTAM, is being used to create the internal building model. BFRL is also establishing real-time links to the external flow models and the real-time sensor network, program modifications to handle the large number of building zones and improved models of HVAC responses triggered by the contaminant sensor signals.
