| | Lift Smoke Control LSC Smoke ventilation system for lift shaft | |
| | | |
| | LSC monitors the lift shaft with a special smoke suction system. In case of fire the smoke ventilation opening opens automatically and considerably reduces the risk of personal injury due to smoke poisoning. At the same time, the lift travels to a smoke-free level for evacuation, and the occupants are able to leave the building safely. | |

| | Energy savings The openings for ventilation and smoke ventilation from lift shafts prescribed by building regulations often resulted in high energy losses. Due to the chimney effect, heated air rises in the shaft and ultimately escapes from the building through the permanent openings at the top of the shaft. LSC is a solution which directly addresses this problem, and can achieve annual energy savings of over € 900 for a standard lift installation. | Especially recommended for modernisation LSC is suitable for retro-fitting to practically all types of lift installations. For this, the permanent opening at the top of the lift shaft is replaced by a skylight or a louvre window, which in case of fire ensures smoke ventilation and controlled ventilation. | |
| | Short amortization time Because of the daily energy saving, the installation of an LSC can pay for itself in less than 6 years. In addition, there is the possibility of passing on the costs of the LSC to tenants as a modernisation measure. You can easily calculate your potential energy saving at: www.lsc.dh-partner.com | |
| | Reconciliation of Energy Directive and Fire Protection The EU Energy Directive, which has been implemented by national regulations in all member States since 2006, has the aim of increasing the overall energy efficiency of buildings. The optimisation of heat insulation supplier by closing permanent openings in lift shafts is a highly efficient method of achieving this. Previously, smoke ventilation in case of fire was provided by energetically inefficient permanent openings. With Lift Smoke Control LSC, D+H offers a total system which ensures smoke ventilation from lift shafts in case of fire by means of louvers or modern skylights powered by electric motors. At the same time, the smoke ventilation openings normally remain closed to prevent unnecessary loss of heat energy. | |
