Lift shaft ventilation and smoke extraction

Modular systems for new buildings and retrofits

Comparison of two buildings: on the left, a lift shaft without a BlueKit solution, with energy losses due to a constant opening, represented by escaping banknotes. On the right, the same building with a BlueKit solution installed, which closes the lift shaft as required, thereby preventing energy losses.

Lift shafts are an essential part of many buildings. But their ventilation is often overlooked - leading to inefficiencies, especially when permanently open shafts allow air to escape uncontrolled, resulting in higher heating costs, reduced airtightness, and poor energy performance.

The BlueKit control systems with modular ventilation elements ensure that the shaft is only ventilated when necessary and immediately available for certified smoke extraction in case of fire.

BlueKit AIO is an integrated system that combines shaft ventilation and smoke extraction in one smart solution. The system monitors environmental conditions and automatically controls ventilation flaps and openings. It enables energy-efficient ventilation while fulfilling fire safety regulations and reducing the risk of noise, humidity, and maintenance issues.

Without BlueKit With BlueKit
Energy efficiency Heat loss due to chimney effect Closing the opening in the shaft head prevents energy loss
Ventilation control Permanently open Demand-controlled and automated
Fire safety Smoke can escape through permanent opening Flap opens when smoke is detected
Noise protection Wind pressure and outdoor noise Preventing draughts leads to increased comfort
Humidity and mould Risk of condensation Controlled climate prevents damage

Components of BlueKit solutions in lift shafts

BlueKit Thermo Flap LONG with raised mounting flange for lift shafts and technical shafts. Designed for natural ventilation and smoke extraction.
HVC roof hood for controlled lift shaft ventilation and safe lift shaft smoke extraction.
The BlueKit JK-180 opens and closes reliably for everyday lift shaft ventilation or for safe smoke extraction in the event of a fire.

Maximize efficiency

Prevent energy loss where others waste it with intelligent ventilation and insulation for maximum savings. BlueKit offers various ventilation elements depending on usage and building type.
