Pressurisation solutions for the safety of multi-family residential buildings in the event of a fire

Did you know that seven out of ten residential fires occur in apartment buildings, and that more than 80% of injuries are due to smoke inhalation?

Pressurisation systems are the only solution contemplated in the Spanish Technical Building Code that prevents smoke from entering evacuation routes, rather than attempting to extract it once it has already contaminated escape paths. In this way, they facilitate the safe evacuation of occupants and support firefighting operations.

SODECA’s BOXPDS pressurization systems comply with the most stringent European standards. Thanks to their advanced technology, they enable safe and rapid evacuation in all types of buildings, ensuring compliance with the most demanding regulatory requirements.

SODECA’s BOXPDS is the pressurization control system with the fastest response on the market and the only one manufactured in Spain that has been tested and certified in accordance with EN 12101-6:2022, in compliance with European standards.

In addition, BOXPDS pressurization systems have been designed to deliver maximum aerodynamic efficiency and safety in the event of a fire.

Staircase, lobby and escape route pressurisation solutions

SODECA’s KIT BOXSMART is the best solution for ensuring the safety of multi-family residential buildings in the event of a fire.

It is a pressurization kit designed to provide stairwell and evacuation route overpressure, consisting of a control panel (BOXSMART), a fan unit (CJHCH or CJBD), and one or two motorized dampers with smoke detectors (DAMPER BOX SMART), depending on the selected model (1D or 2D).

Fast, safe and technologically advanced

SODECA’s pressurization systems offer guaranteed response times: within three seconds, the system reaches its maximum air flow capacity.

In addition, SODECA equipment incorporates state-of-the-art control systems and can react quickly and accurately to changes, always ensuring the required level of overpressure and maintaining the necessary air velocity under any open-door condition.

SODECA: Innovation and safety in the event of a fire

SODECA equipment meets the highest standards of performance and reliability in response to the changing conditions that may occur during a fire.

In conclusion, SODECA’s pressurization solutions for multi-family residential buildings ensure people’s safety in the event of a fire, as they help keep escape routes free of smoke and enable a safer evacuation.

SODECA’s technical department provides tailored support throughout every stage of pressurization projects, from technical studies, simulations, and verification of compliance with current regulations, to system commissioning.
