Notes When Designing Fire Escape Systems For Buildings

In the design and construction of high-rise buildings, the fire escape system plays an extremely important role. It not only ensures the safety of residents and employees working in the building, but also helps to minimize damage to people and property in the event of a fire or explosion.

Use fire doors for exit doors to ensure safety

1. Design of Fire Exits

1.1 Ensure Wide and Easily Accessible Escape Routes

Escape routes should be designed to be spacious, unobstructed and easily accessible from all areas of the building. Fire doors should be installed at escape routes to prevent the spread of fire and protect escapees.

1.2 Use High-Quality Fire Doors

Fire doors play an important role in protecting escape routes. Fire-resistant steel doors and fire-resistant wooden doors from KH Shield are highly heat-resistant, blocking fire and smoke, giving residents time to escape safely or wait for help from outside.

2. Ventilation and Smoke Control Systems

Ventilation systems should be designed to quickly remove smoke in the event of a fire. Using fireproof duct covers and fire dampers using KH Shield fireproof panels can enhance the heat resistance of the ventilation system, ensuring that it is not destroyed by fire.

When designing a ventilation system, fireproof materials should be used to ensure safety. The solution of fireproof duct covers using KH Shield fireproof panels and KH Shield insulation panels is an ideal choice to protect the ventilation system from the risk of fire and explosion.

3. Emergency Lighting System

Emergency lighting systems should be installed at exits and corridors, ensuring adequate lighting for residents to move safely in emergency conditions.

4. Fire Alarm and Warning Systems

4.1 Install a Modern Fire Alarm System

Fire alarm systems should be installed at every floor and important area in the building.

4.2 Ensure Clear Audible Warning Systems

The audible warning system should emit a clear and recognizable sound, helping residents to be aware of the risk and quickly escape.

5. Training and Exit Drills

Training residents and staff on escape procedures is an important part of ensuring safety. Training sessions should be held regularly so that everyone is familiar with the steps to safely escape.

Conduct regular fire escape drills to familiarize residents and staff with fire escape procedures and enhance emergency response skills.
