ABOUTTHEAUTHORS
John H.Klote
Dr. John Klote is known throughout the world as an expert in smoke control due to his many books onthe topic and his 19 years of fire research conducted at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Tech-nology (NIST) in Gaithersburg Maryland. For 11 years he operated his own consulting pany spe- cializing in analysis of smoke control systems. Klote developed a series of smoke control seminars that heteaches for the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. The primary author of the 2007 ICC book A Guide toSmoke Control in the 2006 IBC and the 2002 ASHRAE book Principles of Smoke Managemenr Dr. Klote is also the primary author of two other ASHRAE books about smoke control and he has written chaptersabout smoke control in a number of books as wellas over 80 papers and articles on smoke control smoke movement CFD fire simulations and other aspects of fire protection. He is a licensed professional engi-neer in Washington DC. Klote eaned his doctorate in mechanical engineering from George Washingtonpast chair of ASHRAE Technical Commitee 5.6 Fire and Smoke Control and a member of the NFPA University. Klote is a member of NFPA a fellow of SFPE and a fellow of ASHRAE. He is a member andSmoke Management Committee.
James A. Milke
Maryland. He earmed his doctorate in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. Milke is an Professor Milke is the chairman of the Department of Fire Protection Engineering at the University ofauthor of the ASHRAE book Principles of Smoke Management and of the chapters “Smoke Movement inBuildings" and “Fundamentals of Fire Detection" in the 2008 NFPA Fire Protection Handbook. He is also an author of the chapters “Analytical Methods for Determining Fire Resistance of Steel Members "Handbook. Milke is a licensed professional engineer in Delaware a member of NFPA and American “Smoke Management in Covered Malls and Atria ” and “Conduction of Heat in Solids" in the 2008 SFPESociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) a fellow of SFPE and a past chairman of the NFPA Smoke Manage-ment Committee.
Paul G. Turnbull
Paul Turnbull has been actively involved in the development of codes and standards for smoke controlsystems for over 24 years. He began his career as a hardware developer designing RFI power line filters and later moved into development of control products and accessories for building control systems. He then spent 10 years responsible for safety certifications of building controls HVAC fire alarm andsmoke control equipment. For the past 15 years he has specialized in the development and application oftrols in order to provide coordinated operations between these systems. He is an active member in several gateways that enable fire alarm security and lighting control systems to be integrated with building con-professional associations focused on control of fire and smoke. Turnbull has a baccalaureate degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in puter science. He is a member of ASHRAE TechnicalCommittee 5.6 Fire and Smoke Control and the NFPA Smoke Management Committee. He is aninstructor for the SFPE smoke control seminars.

He is an associate member of the World Road Association (PIARC) Working Group 4 Ventilation and FireControl and a corresponding member of the Technical Committee 4 Road Tunnel Operations.
Michael J.Ferreira
science and engineering consulting pany. He has been primarily involved with smoke management Michael Fereira is a senior fire protection engineer and project manager at Hughes Associates a firesystem design projects for the past 17 years and has published several articles on the innovative use ofputer models for these systems. Ferreira has extensive experience in performing smoke control - missioning testing and calibrating puter models using field data. He was the lead investigator responsi-ble for evaluating smoke control system performance in NIST's investigation of the World Trade Center disaster. He has also conducted a performance-based analysis of the smoke control system at the Statue ofLiberty. Ferreira is a professional engineer and holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in FireProtection Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a member of the NFPA Smoke Man- agement Systems Committee and is an instructor for the NFPA and SFPE smoke control seminars.
