Abstract: This topic focuses on creating a smoke remover duct system for buildings to capture and remove smoke generated during fires or other sources. Referring to fire accidental data, more than half the deaths from accidental fires are due to smoke rather than fire. The system aims to improve indoor air quality, enhance occupant safety, and reduce damage to building contents and structure. The design involves calculating smoke generation rates, selecting materials and components, designing duct layout and configuration, incorporating fire-resistance and safety features. Smoke remover ducts play a vital role in maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring occupant safety in buildings. These ducts are designed to efficiently remove smoke, heat, and toxic gases generated during fires, reducing the risk of damage and harm to people and property. Effective smoke remover duct design considers factors such as building layout, occupancy, fire risk assessment, and ventilation rates. Properly installed and maintained smoke remover ducts can minimize smoke spread, prevent re-ignition, and create a safer evacuation route.
