velux window opening when heat detector goes off

[i=p/u]

as the title says guys, have been asked if this can be done , now ihave never thought of it before , anybody give me clue how this would work and what device will be getting added to do this. i will find out soon enough but i would like to have a little info for when the time comes.. thaanks

Does smoke vent upwards if there is little to replace it, ie is it lifted by the thermal effects of the fire. Again, I don't know, just bored in a hotel in Gloucester and think that several minds thinking about it ( maybe pointlessly!) will be better than one!

as you say the smoke is the killer in most cases.... but the house could be saved if that window wasnt open and fire brigade got there in time..... and the alarms should be enough to cover the smoke in this case,,,,... i think its a 50 50

 

[alarm man]

personally i think sprinkler systems should be fitted to every new home

 

[gaz2212]

I've fitted so many of these units

Smoke ventilation system, can be controlled by smoke/heat detecteR OR front an existing fire alarm system,
I don't actually order them just fit them but I'm sure we get them from window master .com

Will get more info on it tomorrow if u require it

that would be great, its a velux remote controlled one and has 6 others in the house the same... i think new builds should have extractor fans in rooms which are switched by the black smoke.... is this my idea to have the rights , do i get a royalty once they bounce out on shelves..... 25/10/2011

on day befor eopening of a BIG new tesco the maintenence men were testing the fire alarm after commishoning they were meant to WAIT for fire alarm engineer to watch them perform test but as they had a long list of things to do they didnt bother waiting Radio crackles "Are you ready ?" " Aye on you go big man?" Wahhh Wahhh WOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH opened the 6 2400x2400 roof smoke vents ok normaly but NOT a good idea in november scotland when its piddling from the heavens Open speed 100000000MPH closing speed snails pace Exit stage left for 2 maintenance men

Extracts and intakes should close on a fire alarm!!! Dedicated smoke extracts are normally opened manually by a fireman's override, when they are satisfied the actual fire has been extinguished. Something wrong there, if these smoke extraction vent/fans opened automatically!!!

i know many a job where if that zone activates the roof vents open to expel the smoke.

key word is that zone ...
