Fire & Smoke

A Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation System (NSHEVS) is a system of smoke management which utilises the natural effects of air buoyancy, stack effect and wind action to remove smoke from a building.

Buildings with high volatile content such as synthetic products (tyres, nylon, latex, chemicals), timber based products (wood, rubber, paper, cardboard,) and petroleum based products (oils, fuels, plastic, gasoline, grease, fat) can develop fires very rapidly and require effective exhaust systems to ensure:

- People can escape from the building on their own
- Effective firefighting is supported
- Rescue workers have more time to evacuate the building
- Financial loss significantly reduced by preventing smoke damage to the content, building fabric, and surrounding property
- Fire attacks on neighbouring buildings are prevented or delayed

Arcadia Fire and Smoke Ventilation tested and certified to AS 2427 and AS 2426. A well-designed fire ventilation system includes adequate inlet ventilation to complement the exhaust ventilation.
