This research aims to analyze evacuation patterns and fire dynamics to enhance safety measures in university buildings.
Developed a 1:1 building information model of a university teaching building.
Employed agent-based modeling to simulate individual evacuation behavior.
Simulated three evacuation scenarios using Pathfinder.
Utilized PyroSim to model smoke and temperature dynamics during evacuations.
Evacuees preferred exits based on familiarity rather than the shortest path.
Smoke accumulation near certain exits impacted egress capacity significantly.
Total evacuation time was longer when smoke obstructed Exit 1, compared to a fire-free scenario.
