The six floor apartment building compromises luxury high end apartments with a smoke extract system for life safety. Smoke ventilation systems are designed to evacuate smoke from the building to facilitate the safe escape of occupants in the event of a fire and enable the fire to be fought in its early stages.

 

The smoke ventilation system requires a power protection solution to ensure that the system remains operational should the building experience a power outage during an emergency situation.

 

Keeping these life safety systems operational is not only critical to save the lives of the occupants, but also ensure the safety of fire fighters. It is now a legal requirement to have all life safety systems on a backup power supply. These rules are clearly defined in BS 9999, which focuses on the code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.

 

“Life safety systems are essential for protecting the lives of the occupants, so it is critical to install suitable UPS backup.”
