Summary
Fire burns, but it’s smoke that kills!
To support the construction industry’s drive towards increased health and safety in buildings, this Technical Information Sheet focusses on ways to design and use effective smoke control solutions. The smoke and gasses that are released in a fire, kill more people that the fire itself. In this publication, we describe the responsibilities, processes and technologies that are available to help control the smoke if a fire was to occur.

CIOB Conservation Conference
New ideas for tough times
The theme of this year's annual conference is balancing conservation needs against rising costs. It is ideal for professionals involved in historic or traditional buildings as well as homeowners who are embarking on their own project.
We have drawn together leading experts from the UK and Europe who will give delegates the inside track on how these projects were successfully delivered and how they can apply what was learned to their own decision making.
