What are their requirements? How do they operate? Design, Install, Commissioning - What you should know!

The control and management of smoke within a building during a fire is very important for the life safety of occupants, while they are evacuating from a building. These systems form part of a buildings' smoke hazard management system, which is part of the mechanical services. These systems are, or form part of, a life safety measure that is mandatory for many vertically or horizontally large buildings.

These systems assist with minimising an occupant's exposure to the effects of a fire while they are evacuating the building. Therefore, it is essential that these purge, pressurisation and exhaust systems operate and perform correctly, when required.

This webinar is aimed at improving your understanding of the key operational and performance requirements/criteria of these purge, pressurisation and exhaust systems.

If you design, install, certify, routinely service or assess the operation and performance of pressurisation of required Air Purge, Zone Pressurisation or Hot Layer Smoke Control systems you will find this webinar very informative.

           

This webinar will cover and explain aspects of:

  • The purpose of Air Purge, Zone Pressurisation or Hot Layer Smoke Control systems;
  • How they are required to operate;
  • Key operation and performance design, installation and commissioning requirements;
  • Interfaces with other fire protection and life safety systems;
  • Interaction with other smoke control systems;
  • Common system configurations and system equipment;
  • Baseline Data and Commissioning;
  • Fire Fan Control Panel requirements & operation;
  • Do's and Don'ts; and
  • Common misconceptions and misunderstandings.
