Design & Advice

Advanced Smoke Group prides itself in being able to offer comprehensive technical advice and assistance. This can range from a full design service to ensure every aspect of a development complies with building and smoke control safety requirements, through to a friendly chat to recommend best practice solutions to your smoke control needs.

New standards and guidance notes from organisations such as BSI, CEN and the Smoke Control Association are now appearing on a regular basis and we are not only aware of these developments but we are also actively involved with these groups assisting in the creation of the latest guidance; we are therefore able to ensure that our clients benefit from the latest technology and standards available.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modelling

The ability to present a design in a graphical format to enable the design intent and predict the performance of a system design can be invaluable. The Advanced Smoke Group has the capability to provide such design support, the scope of which is demonstrated below:

Residential corridor ventilation
In line with the Building Regulations Approved Document B, enhanced ventilation systems can be considered based on robust calculation methodologies.

CFD modelling provides an insight as to the likely movement of smoke through common areas and the impact on protected areas like stairs. The system performance is typically assessed under means of escape and fire service access conditions in the context of applicable acceptance criteria.

Stable smoke layer solutions
CFD modelling can also aid design when using natural smoke ventilators and can assist in determining the influence of external wind effects and establishing the clear smoke layer
