Smoke Control Design Standards made Simple

Do you spend costly project time complying with Smoke Control and Airflow Standards? With the overlapping requirements of Code, Governing Jurisdictions, and Industry Standards, ensuring that your system design is in compliance can be time-consuming. Ventus saves you time by giving you the modeling and analysis tools you need to make this process a breeze, allowing you to focus your time on the engineering decisions that matter.

Smoke Control Standards

We designed Ventus to assist you in complying with a wide range of Smoke Control standards, including:

Region	Standards
European Union	EN12101-2, EN12101-3, EN12101-6, EN12101-7, EN12101-8, EN12101-13, IBC
United Kingdom	BS7974-2, BS7974-3, Approved Document B Vols. 1 & 2, IBC
United States	NFPA 92, NFPA 101, IBC

Each of these standards requires careful design considerations to ensure that systems provide the safety necessary during emergency scenarios. Engineers have resorted to opaque spreadsheets or 2D tooling that hide the complexity of real structures, and make the design choices harder than they need to be.

Clear 3D Design

With its 3D modeling approach, Ventus brings clarity to your models and gives you a better understanding of your structure. Whether you are creating geometry from scratch, drawing on 2D building plans, or using Ventus' robust BIM import capabilities to utilize existing geometry from another tool, creating your models has never been easier.
