047 - Effective pressurization of compartments with Grzegorz Sypek
Listen now
Description
Pressurization is a common strategy for protecting spaces against the infiltration of smoke. However, the solution has a kind-of bad press as "not-working" or "incapable to meet its design goals". We know, that the systems are as good as their design, and in this episode with my guest, Grzegorz Sypek, we try to bust some myths around PDS systems. We touch on the important design points and the properties of modern solutions available in the market. We also discuss the standardization of PDS systems in Europe, giving a glimpse into incoming EN 12101-6 and EN12101-13. If you seek help with the design of pressurization systems for your buildings, feel free to contact Grzegorz @ [email protected]  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teknolink-gsypek/ --- Cheers to Dr Matt Bonner of Trigon Fire for the surprise song.
