Tech Talks: Mechanical Services Series Part 2.1: Fire & Smoke Curtains and Standby Generators in System Interface Test

    During this session, we will cover the function, design, and compliance requirements for fire dampers, smoke dampers, combination dampers, subducts, and fire/smoke curtains.

    This webinar focuses on two important components that support the operation of fire and smoke control systems: fire and smoke curtains and standby generators.

    Participants will gain an understanding of the purpose and operation of fire and smoke curtains, their role in smoke containment and occupant safety, and the key inspection, testing and servicing activities required to maintain compliance and reliability.

    The session will also examine standby generators and their role in providing emergency power to essential fire safety systems. Technicians will learn how standby generators interact with fire protection systems and the importance of verifying their operation during routine testing activities.

    A key focus will be System Interface Testing (SIT), including how these systems work together during emergency conditions and the responsibilities of maintenance personnel in supporting ongoing system performance and compliance.

    Ideal for fire protection technicians, maintenance personnel, facility managers and building operators, this webinar will provide practical knowledge to assist with the inspection, testing and servicing of fire and smoke control systems.
