Article Summary:
Emergency lighting systems are essential in buildings to ensure safe evacuation during power outages or emergencies. They include self-contained units, small and large central battery systems, or generator-based systems. These systems fulfill various functions such as illuminating egress paths, preventing panic, lighting high-risk areas, locating fire alarm call points, and enabling safety operations. Compliance with relevant legislation, including Ontario Building Code section 3.2.7.3, is crucial for design and installation. Additional objectives, such as maintaining operation during power outages, should be agreed upon by the owner, engineer, fire authority, building officials, and system installer.
