NSHEV Windows at work: The University of Salford’s SEE Building
Project
The University of Salford’s new Science, Engineering and Environment Building features testing and lab facilities, lecture theatres, study areas, offices, and a double-height workshop / testing facility. Large windows and an impressive atrium flood the spaces with natural light.
System
Two D+H multi-zone EN 12101-10 certified control panels operate all of the windows and ensure the NSHEVs operate in the event of a fire. NSHEVs in the affected area will automatically open, drawing smoke and gasses out. This system will keep escape and emergency routes clear, and provide smoke-free space for fire-fighting.
Products
29 windows are dual-purpose EN 12101-2 certified NSHEVs (Natural Smoke & Heat Exhaust Ventilators). Lock drives are present within 143 windows located throughout the building, providing extra security through automated multi-point window locking. A seamless window design has been achieved by matching RAL coloured drives and brackets with the window profiles.
