Tech Talks: Mechanical Services Series Part 3: No two buildings are the same
In this session, we’ll unpack the differences between performance-based and deemed-to-satisfy designs, explore common system configurations, and see how smoke management works hand-in-hand with passive fire systems, egress planning, and fire brigade operations.
Every building has its own story, and when it comes to fire and smoke mechanical control, there’s no such thing as “one-size-fits-all.” In this session, we’ll unpack the differences between performance-based and deemed-to-satisfy designs, explore common system configurations, and see how smoke management works hand-in-hand with passive fire systems, egress planning, and fire brigade operations. You’ll leave with the confidence to interpret and apply the right design principles to each unique project, ensuring safety and compliance.
