Why do you need smoke ventilation in a building?
Ensuring Clear Escape Routes: Our AOV windows help keep escape routes free of smoke, allowing occupants to evacuate safely. By clearing these pathways, people can exit the building without being hindered by smoke.
Supporting Firefighters: When firefighters enter a building during a fire, smoke ventilation improves visibility by reducing smoke levels, enabling them to locate and combat the fire more effectively.
Protecting Property: Effective smoke ventilation systems limit property damage by curbing the spread of smoke and heat. This protection covers inventory, machinery, and production capacity within the building.
Preventing Explosions and Roof Collapse: Well-designed ventilation systems prevent smoke accumulation, reducing the risk of explosions and structural damage, including roof collapse.
In summary, these systems are vital for life safety, property protection, and efficient firefighting operations. It ensures that occupants can escape safely and that emergency responders can perform their duties effectively.
