When fire breaks out at closed buildings, the generated smoke and heat are the main cause of death and increased number of casualties. The spreading heat and smoke also cause quick spreading of the fire in the space, away from the source of fire.
The immediate action required is quickly releasing the smoke by ventilating the space and by creating clear way out for people entrapped in the building.
Natural smoke ventilation is done by designated opening elements, using the principle of thermal lift to get this layer into the open air while it is still in the development phase.
