About the faculty:

Radek Sikorski
International Business Development Manager,
Smay Ventilation Systems
Radek Sikorski is a Business Development Manager with 10 years of experience in the building and HVAC design sector. Holding full design and site supervision credentials (chartership equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, he specializes in pressure differential systems for high-rise buildings.
Radek has delivered technical lectures and expert presentations at many international conferences across the UK, UAE, USA, and Singapore. He also conducts specialized training sessions for design firms and provides hands-on technical support to resolve complex, real-world challenges contributing to several high-rise developments across Europe and the Middle East. He is a member of multiple industry bodies, including the CEN Technical Committee TC191/SC1/WG6 (focused on pressure differential systems), the Fire & Life Safety Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE).

Izabela Tekielak-Skałka, PhD
Head of research and CFD analysis department,
SMAY Ventilation Systems
She has been researching various type of fire ventilation systems for 13 years. She has the greatest experience in work related to fire protection of staircases. In 2020, she received her PhD at the Warsaw University of Technology. Her doctoral dissertation focusing on study of pressure drop in staircases. The results of these studies can be used to design of pressure differential systems in high-rise buildings. In 2022, she was a presenter at an event of the SFPE organization.

SMAY Ventilation Systems - who are we?

How much knowledge will you have built-up when you’ve been working on something for 12 years? We have already completed hundreds of PDS projects in high-rise buildings, including the tallest building in the European Union – Varso Tower.
In addition, we have a unique mix of expertise because we work in more than 34 countries, taking into account more and less restrictive regulations, with differing temperatures and weather conditions of location. It gives us a unique mix of experiences.
We know we can achieve our mission, „Ventilation of tomorrow. Today”, by sharing experiences with international HVAC professionals, research institutes and technical universities.
Our evidence-based cooperation resulted in the development of the SafetyWay pressure differential system, which, equipped with new technologies, solves the most common problems with the protection of escape routes in cases of fire. We are widening our expertise by taking part in the REHVA initiative as a member, organise events, trainings, demonstrations and equipment shows.
