Clause 3.4.12.2 Natural draft smoke venting shall utilize roof vents or vents in walls at or near the ceiling level; such vents shall be normally open, or, if closed, shall be designed for automatic opening in case of fire, by release of smoke sensitive devices..... Clause 3.4.12.3 Where smoke venting facilities are installed for purposes of exit safety, these shall be adequate to prevent dangerous accumulation of smoke during the period of time necessary to evacuate the area served, using available exit facilities with a margin of safety to allow for unforeseen contingencies. It is recommended that smoke exhaust equipment should have a minimum capacity of 12 air changes per hour. Where mechanical venting is employed, it shall be fire safe.

NBC Pt 8 Section 3 Clause 4.5.2.1 ..The design of .. mechanical ventilation shall take into account the fire risk within the building, both as regards structural protection and means of escape in case of fire. The extent and detail of statutory control and other specialist interest may vary considerably according to the design, use, occupation and location of the building, and the type of system of mechanical ventilation .. proposed. It is therefore particularly important that the appropriate safeguards are fully considered at the concept design stage of the building. The degree of control and the requirements vary according to the application. Full details may have to be approved by the Authority in following cases:..a) From the point of view of the means of escape where recirculation of air is involved and/or where pressurized staircases are contemplated as part of the smoke control arrangements;..c) Large car parks, .. involving a special risk....4.5.2.2 Ductwork and enclosures.. All ductwork including connectors fittings and plenums should be constructed of steel, aluminium or other approved metal or from non-combustible material. All exhaust ducts, the interior of which is liable in normal use to accumulate dust, grease or other flammable matter, should be provided with adequate means of access to facilitate cleaning and inspection. Also, the concerned provisions of Part 4 ‘Fire and Life Safety’ shall be complied with......4.5.2.4 Fire and smoke detection..When the system involves the recirculation of air,consideration should be given to the installation of detection devices that would either shut off the plant and close dampers or discharge the smoke-laden air to atmosphere. Detectors may be advisable in certain applications even when the system is not a recirculator one. Exhausts should not be positioned near the fire escapes, main staircases or where these could be a hindrance to the work of fire authorities. The local fire authorities should be consulted. A careful study of the operating characteristics of each type of sensing device should be made before selection. Smoke detectors are normally either of the optical or ionization chamber type. These can be used to either sound an alarm system or operate a fire dampers. Care should be taken with their location as various factors affect the satisfactory operation. Ionization type detectors are sensitive to high velocity air streams and if used in ductwork the manufacturer should be consulted. Activation of smoke detector should stop the air handling unit supply air fan, close the fire damper in supply and return air duct and operate a suitable alarm system. In all the above instances the appropriate controls would require manual re-setting.

The extent and detail of statutory control and other specialist interest may vary considerably according to the design, use, occupation and location of the building, and the type of system of mechanical ventilation and air conditioning proposed. It is therefore particularly important that the appropriate safeguards are fully considered at the concept design stage of the building. The degree of control and the requirements vary according to the application. Full details may have to be approved by the Authority in following cases:..a) From the point of view of the means of escape where recirculation of air is involved and/or where pressurized staircases are contemplated as part of the smoke control arrangements...Clause 4.5.2.5 Smoke control... assumes special significance in high rise buildings, because the time necessary for evacuation may be greater than the time for the development of untenable smoke conditions on staircases, in lift shafts and in other parts of the building far away from the fire. Lifts may be filled with smoke or unavailable..One or more escape staircase connecting to outdoors at ground level, should be pressurized, to enable mass evacuation of high rise buildings...Therefore all air handling systems of a building should be designed with fire protection and smoke control aspects incorporating, where appropriate, facilities to permit their operation for the control of smoke within the building in event of fire. Fan motor and starter should be protected from fire and connected to the emergency electrical supply through cables with special fire resistant coating.

Pt 8 Section 3 4.5.2.2 Ductwork and enclosures..All ductwork including connectors fittings and plenums should be constructed of steel, aluminium or other approved metal or from non-combustible material. All exhaust ducts, the interior of which is liable in normal use to accumulate dust, grease or other flammable matter, should be provided with adequate means of access to facilitate cleaning and inspection. Also, the concerned provisions of Part 4 ‘Fire and Life Safety’ shall be complied with....4.5.2.3 Thermal and acoustic insulation.. To reduce the spread of fire or smoke by an air conditioning system, care should be taken for the choice of materials used for such items as air filters, silencers and insulation both internal and external (see Part 4 ‘Fire and Life Safety’ and Part 5 ‘Building Materials’)....4.5.2.4 Fire and smoke detection..When the system involves the recirculation of air,consideration should be given to the installation of detection devices that would either shut off the plant and close dampers or discharge the smoke-laden air to atmosphere. Detectors may be advisable in certain applications even when the system is not a recirculator one. Exhausts should not be positioned near the fire escapes, main staircases or where these could be a hindrance to the work of fire authorities. The local fire authorities should be consulted. A careful study of the operating characteristics of each type of sensing device should be made before selection. Smoke detectors are normally either of the optical or ionization chamber type. These can be used to either sound an alarm system or operate a fire dampers. Care should be taken with their location as various factors affect the satisfactory operation. Ionization type detectors are sensitive to high velocity air streams and if used in ductwork the manufacturer should be consulted. Activation of smoke detector should stop the air handling unit supply air fan, close the fire damper in supply and return air duct and operate a suitable alarm system. In all the above instances the appropriate controls would require manual re-setting
