What is an Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) System?

Automatic Opening Vents have a dual function within a building, the first is for daily ventilation optimizing the quality of indoor air. The second is for fire safety, as part of a buildings fire safety procedures the AOV is linked to your building management system for 24/7 monitoring. Recent changes to building regulations has meant AOVs have become a a requirement to new buildings and are seen as life saving essentials.

Fire Safety

Linked to the building management system the AOV system uses sensors around the building to detect any heat or smoke present. The sensors are active 24/7 enabling an automatic response to trigger the AOV system should any smoke or heat be detected within the building. The benefit of the system not only helps to contain the fire but to protect occupants by extracting the smoke from the building, creating safer escape routes, or to provide an access point for a fire officer. Our systems are fully regulated.

Indoor air quality

There’s nothing worse than being stuck in a hot and stuffy building with no fresh air, but the option to utilize AOVs within your communal areas can help improve the regulation of fresh air within your building. Electric window actuators can be used to drive fresh air through a building, through a smart control system with sensor points.
