New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
The product will, if employed in accordance with the supplier's installation and maintenance requirements, assist with meeting the following provisions of the building code:
- Clause C5 Access and safety for fire fighting operations: Performance C5.6(a), C5.6(c), C5.7(b)
The chain actuators have been tested in accordance of relevant codes of practise for life safety applications.
- Clause G4 Ventilation: Performance G4.3.1
The ability to open/close automated windows to allow natural ventilation to occur.
The system is controlled by various weather sensors to maximise indoor air quality.
Internal & external temperature sensors / Co2 monitoring / wind, speed & directional sensor / rain sensor / BMS integration.
- Clause H1 Energy efficiency : Performance H1.3.1, H1.3.3(a)
Adding sustainability and natural ventilation to the building envelope
Notes
C5.6(a) - The purpose of the chain actuators are to prevent smoke logging by opening high level windows/skylights to exhaust smoke out the building, creating a path for the emergency team to fight the fire.
C5.6(c) - Providing smoke relief and clear passage
C5.7(b) - The control panel operating the chain actuators are provided with controls to operate the smoke system in emergency applications.
G4.3.1 - The chain actuator provides natural ventilation into the building at optimum times by the use of weather sensors
H1.3.1 - The chain actuator close the building during high winds / rain / high temperatures
H1.3.3(a) - The allowance of providing night time purging through automated windows.

Installation requirements
Install chain drive actuators in accordance with Manufacturer/Supplier details and installation instructions, and to comply with the reviewed shop drawings and installation details including sealant, seals and fixing positions. Carry out the fixing, installation and fitting the chain drive actuators to finish rigid, true to line and face and square on the window in accordance with manufacturer/supplier requirements.
Do not commence installation unless all preparatory work is of the required standard. Pre-drill holes on the window aluminium surface where the side and sash brackets are to be installed. Install the brackets with counter sink screws.
Make sure chain drive actuators are plumb and securely fixed to window with the correct fixings
Maintenance requirements
Operate the window system to confirm the actuator is driving the window to a fully open and fully closed position.
Make sure all fixings are securely fastened and there is no physical movement on the chain drive actuators
If you notice any moss, remove it as well using a wet sponge.
Use a mild detergent and warm water and remove grime, salt, dust or other dirt using a soft brush
