A Smoke Vent is an openable roof or wall vent that releases smoke and hot gases from a building during a fire to aid visibility, protect escape routes and assist firefighting. In data centers smoke vents form part of smoke control in larger spaces, coordinated with detection and other fire systems to limit smoke damage to equipment and support safe evacuation.
