Emergency Lighting & Power
In any building, reliable emergency lighting and power systems are critical to ensuring occupant safety during power outages, fires, or other emergencies. Therefore, properly designed emergency lighting guides occupants to safety and maintains essential life-support systems when the main power fails. At Break Engineering, we specialize in designing comprehensive emergency lighting and power systems that meet rigorous Canadian safety standards. As a result, you gain peace of mind knowing your building is protected and fully compliant.
Our expert engineers design emergency and exit lighting systems in strict accordance with the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Whether your building requires battery-backed LED fixtures for local egress lighting or centralized inverter systems to power multiple zones, we provide customized solutions to ensure safe and efficient evacuation routes. To achieve this, we evaluate your facility’s layout, occupancy type, and emergency egress requirements. By doing so, we deliver designs that maximize visibility, minimize energy use, and guarantee compliance.
Critical life-safety systems depend on uninterrupted power during emergencies. For this reason, we provide comprehensive sizing and specification services for generators, automatic transfer switches (ATS), uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and battery systems, as well as centralized power inverters. These solutions are engineered to support vital loads including exit illumination, fire alarm systems, emergency communications, smoke control equipment, elevators, and fire pumps. By integrating robust backup power systems, we help maintain continuous operation of these essential systems, thereby reducing risk and improving building resilience.
