Lift shaft ventilation and smoke extraction
Modular systems for new buildings and retrofits
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
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.
To the products
Easy installation, total flexibility
Find the right control system for your project, tailored to your needs – from basic functions to complete automation.
Detect danger before it is visible
The advanced detection technology from BlueKit ensures proactive safety throughout the entire elevator shaft.
Smarter air, less downtime
The LST-CO2 monitors CO₂, temperature, and humidity to optimize ventilation and ensure a healthier environment.
Manual operation for even faster safety
Reliable, responsive manual operation of the smoke vent when it matters most. Also available in a ventilation version with buttons for additional hand-operated ventilation.
* For applications limited to ventilation, the BlueKit system does not require the smoke extraction components "3. Smoke Detection" and "5. Smoke Vent Button".
