The future of the world protected by fire solutions delivered by DAN-doors

DAN-doors has supplied 11 fire curtains to DTU's Climate Challenge Laboratory, where physicists, chemists, energy engineers and microbiologists work together with researchers from other disciplines, students, companies and other universities in Denmark and abroad to find solutions to accelerate the green transition.

DTU's Climate Laboratory will provide a framework for research and knowledge that can have a major impact on global climate action. Therefore, it has been crucial to create an environment that provides the best framework for research, innovation and collaboration across disciplines, and nothing is left to chance. It was crucial for the architect to find a solution for fire protection so that valuable knowledge and research would not be lost - without compromising the carefully designed research environment.

DGNB Gold certified building

The lab is certified according to the international DGNB Gold standard for sustainable construction, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainability - socially, economically and environmentally.

Solutions that promote biodiversity and efficient rainwater management are integrated, and the architecture is designed to accommodate different types of people and user needs. Because the building will support innovation across disciplines, it was important to create spaces where users would meet, build relationships and collaborate across disciplines, all with the common goal of developing solutions to future climate challenges.

11 fire curtains protect valuable knowledge in case of fire

As turnkey contractor on the project, MT Højgaard chose DAN-doors' fire curtains for the fire protection. These curtains are ideal for areas with limited space and can be customized to integrate discreetly into the building's interior design.

The 11 fire curtains are integrated so discreetly that they appear as a natural part of the building, protecting the building, its valuable resources and the people inside.

To meet different security needs, fire curtains of different classes have been selected depending on their location. In areas with particularly high personal safety requirements, _EI260fire curtains are installed, while E240 fire curtains protect areas with valuable assets and research results.

_EI260fire curtains have the EU's highest safety certification as they not only prevent the spread of fire but also reduce heat transfer. This makes them ideal for creating safe evacuation routes. E240 fire curtains, on the other hand, stop the spread of fire and smoke for at least four hours, ensuring that valuable knowledge and research remains protected while the fire brigade fights a possible fire.

We are proud to be part of the talented team behind DTU's Climate Laboratory and look forward to following the results that emerge from the important interdisciplinary collaboration that has been created.
