A Smoke Control System is a specialized mechanical and ventilation system designed to manage and direct the movement of smoke during a fire emergency. Its primary purpose is to limit the spread of smoke throughout a building, thereby improving visibility, protecting escape routes, and providing safer conditions for both occupants and emergency responders.

Smoke poses a greater threat than fire in most building-related fatalities. In enclosed environments, it can quickly obscure exits, disable fire detection equipment, and introduce toxic gases. A well-designed smoke control system actively extracts or contains smoke, helping to maintain tenable conditions in evacuation paths and reduce property damage.

Core Functions of Smoke Control Systems:

• Smoke Containment: Prevents smoke from moving between zones using pressurization or compartmentalization.

• Smoke Extraction: Actively removes smoke from key areas through mechanical exhaust fans and ductwork.

• Pressurization Systems: Maintains positive air pressure in stairwells, lobbies, or safe zones to keep smoke out.

• Automatic Activation: Integrates with fire detection systems to activate immediately upon fire alarm.

• Compliance with Safety Codes: Designed according to international fire safety standards and building codes.

Whether for high rise buildings, shopping complexes, industrial facilities, or underground structures, smoke control systems are a vital component of modern fire safety strategies.
