Effective car park exhaust testing is crucial to maintaining a safe environment in enclosed parking facilities. AirXpress Testing specializes in comprehensive inspections of car park ventilation systems, ensuring they meet the stringent requirements set by Australian Standards. In scenarios where natural ventilation is inadequate, a mechanical extract system becomes essential. This system must incorporate at least two extract fans, each providing 50% of the total extraction capacity, and include a secondary power supply to function during power outages. Extract points are strategically designed, with 50% located at high levels and 50% at low levels, to optimize airflow and pollutant removal.
Why is this necessary?
Proper ventilation systems are necessary to control carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, keeping them within safe limits as outlined by Australian Standards. Additionally, these systems play a critical role in fire safety, assisting fire services in smoke clearance during and after a fire. Advanced ventilation systems can also ensure smoke-free access for firefighters, enabling them to address the fire more effectively, or protect escape routes for car park users. AirXpress Testing’s meticulous inspections provide authorities with confidence that these systems will perform effectively under various conditions.
