Commercial/Industrial Applications

Unlike residential buildings, commercial and industrial premises do not have any prescriptive rules for smoke control measures. However, due to extended travel distances or areas of special risk it is often necessary to provide additional safety measures to aid the safe means of escape and fire-fighting operations.

Organisations such as The British Standards Institute, Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers, and Smoke Control Association provided codes of practices and guidance notes for buildings and make specific reference to smoke control measures in these types of buildings.

Advanced Smoke Technology offer code compliant systems and special fire engineering solutions' using differing technologies, as shown on the matrix below.
