EMERGENCY LIGHTING DURATION

04 Jan

The required duration of emergency lighting depends on building usage and evacuation strategies. A 3 hours period is required for entertainment venues (cinemas, theatres, etc.) and buildings with a sleep risk (hotels, guesthouses, etc.). Residential buildings also require a 3 hours window of illumination. Despite residents’ familiarity with the building layout and expectations for an orderly evacuation in case of an emergency, there is still a sleep risk.

A 3 hours period is also required in cases in which evacuation/escape could take a long time. The types of building requiring a 3 hours window of emergency illumination are as follows;

-Facilities that provide accommodations; hospitals, care homes, guesthouses, student residence halls, boarding schools, certain types of clubs

-Non-residential buildings used for treatment or care; private schools, clinics and similar establishments

-Non-residential buildings used for recreation; cinemas, theatres, concert venues, exhibition centres, gyms, pubs, restaurants

-Non-residential public buildings; municipality halls, libraries, shops, shopping centres, art galleries, museums

For certain facilities, a time window of 1 hour is considered sufficient if the evacuation is immediate. The following are examples of such facilities;

-Non-residential buildings used for education and research purposes; schools, higher education institutions, technical institutions, laboratories

-Industrial facilities used for the production, processing, or storage of goods; factories, workshops, warehouses

WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING?

Emergency lighting is a type of secondary lighting that activates immediately, independent of a generator system, when the usual lighting system is disabled due to emergencies involving events such as earthquakes, fires, terror attacks, sabotage, or power outages. Emergency lighting systems allow for the safe evacuation of people from a building.
