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 mechanical ventilation systems.

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, but 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, especially in larger buildings or those with high fire risks. However, they are also more complex and expensive to install and maintain.
