Residents at Queen Mary, University of London, are being protected by automatic smoke vents from access door and vents manufacturer, Bilco.
Some 14 double leaf Lumivent automatic smoke vents were specified for the Westfield Student Village. A pitch style design, it minimises burning embers settling on the cover and have enhanced thermal insulation.
Multi-wall polycarbonate covers maximise light transmittance while limiting solar heat gain. Each vent offers a vent area of 2.23m with the product activated by a fire alarm interface and break glass system. The system can be reset remotely by a switch with the company's smoke vents acting as 'stand alone' units.
