According to HFDNET - High Rise Construction, the description of “Stratification of Smoke” in high-rise buildings does not include:
A) Because a higher percentage of heat and smoke can accumulate in a confined space (high rise) with little potential for top level ventilation, the sudden admittance of air into the high rise can easily lead to a backdraft potential
