Smoke Ventilation Systems

Smoke ventilation systems are essential components of fire safety in buildings, designed to protect occupants and assist firefighters during a fire. These systems range from basic natural ventilation systems to more intricate mechanical ventilation systems, each with its own advantages and applications. 

Natural ventilation systems rely on the buoyancy of hot smoke to naturally rise and escape through openings in the building's roof or walls. These systems are often simpler and less expensive than mechanical systems, but they may not be as effective in large or complex buildings.

Mechanical ventilation systems use fans and ducts to actively extract smoke and heat from the building. These systems can be more efficient and reliable than natural systems, especially in larger buildings or those with high fire risks. However, they are also more complex and expensive to install and maintain.

Overview of Smoke Ventilation Systems

There is no one size fits all approach to smoke ventilation. The individual characteristics of every building and the requirements of each project mean that different approaches and ventilation systems are required.

What is Mechanical Smoke Ventilation?

Mechanical smoke ventilation (MSV) Systems consist of powered fans attached to ventilation shafts. In the event of a fire, dampers on the affected floor open and the fan activates to evacuate the smoke.

What is Natural Smoke Ventilation?

A simple smoke venting solution, these systems utilise Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs) or windows and the natural flow of air through the building to draw the smoke out.

Car Park Smoke Ventilation

Car park systems serve a dual purpose of day-to-day ventilation to provide the required air quality as well as the evacuation of smoke in the event of a fire.
