📢 🔥 Staircase pressurization is a life safety system designed to keep stairwells in buildings free of smoke during a fire. The system works by maintaining a higher air pressure in the stairwell compared to adjacent areas, preventing smoke from entering. This ensures a clear and safe evacuation route for occupants and provides a smoke-free environment for firefighters to access the building. ❓ Why Staircase Pressurization is Required? ✔ Safe Evacuation: During a fire, staircases serve as the primary means of egress. Keeping them free of smoke is critical for the safe evacuation of occupants. ✔ Firefighter Access: Clear stairwells allow firefighters to quickly and safely move through the building, improving their ability to combat the fire and rescue occupants. ✔ Compliance with Building Codes: Many building codes and fire safety standards require staircase pressurization systems to ensure the safety of building occupants and emergency responders. ✔ Prevention of Smoke Infiltration: Smoke inhalation is a leading cause of death in fires. By preventing smoke from infiltrating stairwells, the risk to occupants is significantly reduced. 🌬️ Key Points to Consider: ❇ Follow NBC and NFPA codes and guidelines ❇ Select certified fans for optimal temperature control and noise reduction ❇ Prioritize proper engineering in ventilation system design Have you integrated these practices into your projects?
