Workshops On Making Smoke Control Systems Compatible With Current Building Demands
PR123/24-R3
Introduction
As part of the expansion of Advanced Smoke Group’s factory premises in Oadby, Leicestershire a fully equipped conference suite has been included in the plans and is now complete and fully operational.
Background
The new standards and regulations now applicable to smoke control systems in multi-story buildings and influenced by the Grenfell Tower tragedy have created a gap in knowledge and would be our intention to cover this gap by explaining the subjects.
For this reason, ASG began with a series of seminars at the Fire Service College in Moreton in Marsh, which included a live fire demonstration of a pressurization system.
These seminars, attended by delegates from a wide range of disciplines related to the fire industry, were highly successful, especially in enabling the transfer of knowledge on current control technology and how to meet current standard.

The New Events
The company now proposes to take this a step further, providing regulators, architects, fire authorities and consulting engineers with information necessary to understand the latest Standards and technology used in the application of today’s pressure differential systems.
The new program of workshops will shortly be launched by ASG. These events will be free of charge to delegates and include refreshments during the event, and documentation will include workshop notes and copies of the latest ASG books. The events will be non-promotional, but focused on raising the standard of design and installation of pressure differential smoke control systems.
The content of the new series of workshops will range from the design of pressure differential systems and compliance with the latest regulations and standards, to installation and commissioning of systems and practical verification of the installed system performance. Test requirements for equipment used in smoke control systems will also be highlighted.
In addition, delegates will also be able to witness a practical demonstration of current pressurization smoke control systems and how they should meet the current standards.
