Design considerations for smoke control

BAS-APG001-EN

Smoke feedback

Smoke feedback occurs when smoke enters a pressurization fan intake
and flows into protected spaces. Design techniques reduce the probability
of smoke feedback:

•

Supply air intakes located below openings from which smoke might
flow, such as building exhausts, smoke shaft outlets and elevator
vents.

•

Automatic shutdown capability to stop the system in the event of
smoke feedback.

For more information on smoke feedback, refer to SFPE 1995,
