This Seminar includes:

• An explanation of the basic legislative requirements and how these are achieved using impulse ventilation

• Application of impulse ventilation, both for carbon monoxide and for smoke clearance or smoke control

• The advantages of impulse ventilation over traditional ducted extract systems

• Use of CFD

• Control systems used: carbon monoxide and heat detection systems

• How impulse ventilation can be used to control smoke movement, allowing smoke control to be used, as part of a fire strategy, to compensate for the relaxation of other legislative requirements, e.g. travel distances

• A case history of a particular project where travel distances were relaxed using impulse ventilation designed for smoke control

• An explanation of how this project was validated using CFD and live fire tests
