Car park ventilation system for Millbrook Park
Tasked with the design and development of an advanced car park ventilation system, we implemented a groundbreaking two-phase extraction method underpinned by CFD modelling.
Enclosed or underground car parks pose unique challenges, not only in emergency situations but also in everyday operation. Our innovative ventilation solutions are designed with dual-purpose efficiency, offering unparalleled safety and sustainability.
Our VentGuard systems go beyond mere compliance, providing a robust means of clearing smoke efficiently during and after a fire to protect the structure and its occupants, whilst also managing the build-up of vehicle exhaust and other pollutants, ensuring a healthier environment for users.
By limiting smoke spread and temperatures, our solutions safeguard structural integrity and ensure clear, smoke-free pathways for emergency responders, thereby exceeding the foundational requirements of Building Regulations.
Our advanced ventilation systems maintain optimal air quality and prevent stagnant air pockets. This holistic approach to ventilation marries the need for emergency preparedness with the commitment to environmental sustainability.
FUMO’s consulting support creates clear, unambiguous specifications for the integration of advanced smoke ventilation systems at the building design stage. It provides you with the compliance assurance you need to progress from initial building design, through to planning application and construction.
VentGuard delivers every aspect of smoke control and ventilation in high-rise buildings, delivering turnkey packages that prioritise safety and compliance. We combine in-depth regulatory knowledge with the curation of the latest technologies from across the smoke ventilation ecosystem. VentGuard provides you with access to the latest thinking, design ideas, components and control systems.
VentGuard’s ‘manufacturer agnostic’ approach ensures our operation and maintenance expertise extends to all technologies across the smoke ventilation ecosystem. Whether servicing and maintaining systems we’ve installed, or taking on an existing system, our flexible maintenance contracts help to deliver lower total cost of ownership.
Whether starting from scratch on a new development, or renovating an ageing car park that's reached its end-of-life, we carefully design bespoke, turnkey smoke control and ventilation systems that create welcoming, efficient, and safe urban spaces.
Ageing car park facilities attract complaints around dust, noise, and the unwelcoming atmosphere created by outdated, obtrusive ductwork. This kind of environment not only detracts from a building's overall allure, but also compromises the safety and convenience expected by its patrons.
Through CFD modelling, we ensure that each retrofit is not just compliant, but ahead of its time, providing a comprehensive understanding of smoke and fire behaviour in real-life scenarios.
The removal of cumbersome ductwork not only brightens car park spaces, making them more inviting, but also sets news standards in sustainable building management. These new systems offer significant annual cost savings, demonstrating a clear return on investment.
