Smoke Under Control: Understanding Smoke Ratings for Steel Doors

This RIBA-approved CPD provides a clear, practical introduction to smoke behaviour, smoke control measures, and the application of smoke ratings within modern building design. The session explores how smoke moves through a building and why controlling its spread is essential for life safety and safe evacuation.
