Our Solutions

Smoke Ventilation

SE Controls offers a comprehensive range of natural and powered Smoke Heat and Exhaust Ventilation systems (SHEV) suitable for any size and type of building. Our systems are designed to facilitate the safe escape of occupants in the event of a fire and to enable the fire to be fought in its early stages.

Smoke control systems are among the most highly regulated parts of a building’s design, and façade automation using actuators on vents (Automatic Opening Vents) is a critical element of a life safety ventilation solution. However, many façade contractors are unaware of their legal and contractual responsibilities, due to the array of regulations and processes that govern and control smoke ventilation solutions.

Our product range consists of Actuators, Controls, Louvres, Vents (AOVs), Fans, Switches and Sensors for a range of Smoke and Environmental Ventilation and Window Automation applications. Our products are tested in accordance with the relevant EN12101 harmonised suite of standards for smoke control compliance and designed in accordance with BS7346-8 Code of Practice for planning, design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of smoke control systems.

SE Tested Solutions is a range of documents accessed on our dedicated website portal that provide guidance on products and best practice for smoke and environmental ventilation solutions. We have collaborated with leading façade system companies to independently test their popular window systems to the European smoke ventilator standard EN12101-2. Added to an audited fabrication and installation process, a CE marked solution is provided, with a Declaration of Performance (DoP) to prove compliance.

Environmental Ventilation

Environmental control is the use of environmental or natural ventilation (external air movement) through a building to create a healthier indoor environment.

Environmental or Natural ventilation improves indoor environments, reduces CO2 emissions and is cost efficient. Adaptive environmental ventilation systems are less costly than traditional HVAC systems, being cheaper to install, run and maintain. Adaptive natural ventilation is leading the way for a sustainable future.

SE Controls are passionate about delivering energy efficient buildings with productive, healthy indoor environments; occupant productivity is significantly improved when thermal comfort and indoor air quality are optimised.

It is beneficial to use the windows (which are already installed in the fabric of the building) to provide additional fresh air to supplement an existing heating and cooling strategy.

Façade Automation

SE Controls love architecture and we believe that form doesn’t need to suffer at the hand of function. Life safety systems are an integral element of constructing safe buildings and their primary function is to save lives, however, we appreciate that consideration should always be given to the aesthetics and the overall design of the building. For this reason, our team of experts will endeavour to help you realise your creative ambitions for your designs through façade engineering, without compromising the fire safety strategy.

Automatically opening windows uses hardware, known as actuators or rotary handles, that fit directly onto the window system which push and pull the window open and closed, instead of operating the window manually.
