Many buildings under construction or renovation today require a smoke-control system, either to gain building regulations approval or, to protect the building, its contents and occupants, and to offer assurance of business continuity in case of fire. Traditionally natural rather than powered smoke ventilation systems have been preferred. The article considers why this has been the case, and covers failsafe operation, self compensating, quiet operation and cost effectiveness.
