Emergency Lighting & Power

Emergency Lighting & Power
In any building, reliable emergency lighting and power systems are critical to ensuring occupant safety during power outages, fires, or other emergency situations. 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 comprehensive emergency lighting and power system design tailored to meet rigorous Canadian safety standards, giving you peace of mind that your building is protected and compliant.
Emergency Lighting System Design & Planning
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 create customized solutions that ensure safe and efficient evacuation routes. We carefully evaluate your facility's layout, occupancy type, and emergency egress requirements to deliver lighting designs that maximize visibility, minimize energy use, and guarantee code compliance.
Emergency Power & Backup Solutions
Critical life-safety systems depend on uninterrupted power during emergencies. 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. Our 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 ensure continuous operation of these critical systems, mitigating risks and enhancing building resilience.
