Driving Innovation in Manufacturing
Encapsulates our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the manufacturing industry.
Smoke Control & Ventilation Analysis
Engineered analysis of smoke-control and life-safety ventilation systems — atrium exhaust, stair pressurization, garage ventilation, and tenability studies — supporting design engineers and AHJ approval where prescriptive code paths do not fit the project.
Positioning
Smoke and life-safety analysis is delivered as an engineering study, not a modeling exercise. Assumptions, boundary conditions, and tenability criteria are established up front with the design engineer of record and the AHJ so the report supports the approval path.
Capabilities
-
Atrium and large-volume smoke exhaust analysis (NFPA 92)
-
Stair and vestibule pressurization studies
-
Enclosed and underground garage ventilation (IMC / ASHRAE)
-
Tenability studies and egress-time analysis
-
Performance-based smoke-control review
-
AHJ-facing basis-of-design and defense documentation
Applicable standards
Specific certifications, personnel qualifications, and delivered outcomes for a given project are confirmed on scope of work.
Applications
- High-rise and mixed-use atrium smoke management
- Below-grade parking ventilation for CO / NO₂ dilution
- Performance-based alternatives to prescriptive code paths
- Existing-building analysis for change of use
- Special-use spaces requiring tenability defense
