Retail premises or large shopping centres need a different approach to smoke and ventilation control as well as preventative fire detection systems than accommodation or industrial buildings.
Developing effective retail fire protection, smoke and ventilation control systems
Regulations and codes of practice are laid down by British Standards Institute, Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers and Smoke Control Association. At Marshall Electrical Services we will ensure your retail building conforms to the latest regulations, however we also want to ensure the aesthetics and functionality of your building remains integral to the project.
As well as considering regulations, we will incorporate fire detection and smoke and ventilation control systems dependent on the size, layout and functionality of your building.
Issues to consider are whether to provide additional protection to fire-fighters by installing ventilation shafts. Smoke control systems may be required to provide clear layers to ensure occupants can leave safely and quickly.
Marshall Electrics can design systems to move and distribute smoke to a set logic. This will route smoke out of the building and allow the location of the fire to be accurately pinpointed.
