Solution Natural Smoke Ventilation, NSHEV,
Construction year 2023

Project

Storage King Heathrow is a new self-storage facility in Hounslow, located minutes from Heathrow Airport.

 

Systems 

D+H UK provided multiple smoke ventilation systems across the storage facility.


Smoke control panels operate numerous Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilators (NSHEVs), proving smoke ventilation to the stairwells and corridors:


+ Four staircases vented at roof level


+ Five stair lobbies vented through a natural smoke shaft, outlet at roof level


+ Four stair lobbies vented through the facade via low profile aluminium louvres


Call point units are located throughout the building, enabling manual triggering if required.

 

+ NSHEVs tested & certified to EN12101-2

+ Shaft Dampers tested & certified to EN12101-8

+ Geometric free areas in accordance with Approved Document B

 

Systems are triggered manually from the call point units or via signals from the fire alarm.


In the event of a trigger within a lobby, the louvre / damper on the fire floor will open, along with the vent at the head of the staircase / shaft.


All remaining louvres & dampers will be locked out in the closed position, allowing for smoke to be drawn up and out of the affected area.
