Smoke ventilation

SE Controls

SE Controls offers a comprehensive range of natural and powered Smoke Heat and Exhaust Ventilation systems (SHEV) suitable for any size and type of building. Our systems are designed to facilitate the safe escape of occupants in the event of a fire and to enable the fire to be fought in its early stages.

Smoke control systems are among the most highly regulated parts of a building’s design, and façade automation using actuators on vents (Automatic Opening Vents) is a critical element of a life safety ventilation solution. However, many façade contractors are unaware of their legal and contractual responsibilities, due to the array of regulations and processes that govern and control smoke ventilation solutions.

Our product range consists of Actuators, Controls, Louvres, Vents (AOVs), Fans, Switches and Sensors for a range of Smoke and Environmental Ventilation and Window Automation applications. Our products are tested in accordance with the relevant EN12101 harmonised suite of standards for smoke control compliance and designed in accordance with BS7346-8 Code of Practice for planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of smoke control systems.

SE Tested Solutions is a range of documents accessed on our dedicated website portal that provide guidance on products and best practice for smoke and environmental ventilation solutions. We have collaborated with leading façade system companies to independently test their popular window systems to the European smoke ventilator standard EN12101-2. Added to an audited fabrication and installation process, a CE marked solution is provided, with a Declaration of Performance (DoP) to prove compliance.
