Intro on the Building Safety Act and Smoke Control
Pressurisation in high-rise buildings is a niche but critical topic. Proper commissioning is essential, as a building cannot be handed over without it. The Building Safety Act has significantly changed the industry’s approach, making it essential for everyone involved to ensure they have the right information when considering smoke clearance or pressurisation systems.
Radek emphasises that pressurisation systems are crucial for fire safety, providing optimal conditions for evacuees and firefighters. These systems are widely used globally but face challenges in the UK, which must be addressed to ensure proper functionality.
