Planning smoke extraction hoods and ventilation hoods for underground car parks and roof shafts

Further roof solutions for daylight, ventilation and smoke and heat exhaust. In addition to smoke extraction hoods, flat roofs can incorporate rooflights for daylight, ventilation, roof access or smoke and heat exhaust. Our article on configuring and comparing flat-roof domes online helps with product selection and technical assessment. Natural ventilation of underground car parks uses openings or ventilation shafts for air exchange. Wind pressure, thermal buoyancy and pressure differences move the air, so a continuously running fan is not required to generate airflow. However, this solution is not automatically suitable for every car park. Size, use, traffic volume, geometry and state building regulations determine the requirements. The openings must also be sufficiently large, appropriately distributed and...

Building envelope systems 2026 | Ventilation, weather protection and noise control from rotec

Building envelope systems

Building envelope systems are essential when ventilation, weather protection, noise control and architectural integration need to be planned together. rotec develops project-specific solutions for industry and architecture, supplying ready-to-install elements for facades, rooftop structures and technical building openings. These functional components direct large volumes of air safely, keep out wind-driven rain and integrate building services neatly into the building envelope. Depending on the application, the design can incorporate acoustic performance, increased strength or security-related functions. Fabrication takes place in Berlin. The supporting structure and structural engineering are generally provided by the client, while rotec is responsible for integrating its own components in accordance with the system requirements.
