With over 35 years experience within the façade automation industry, SE Controls offer a complete turnkey solution from design and manufacture to installation, commissioning and on-going maintenance, throughout the lifetime of a building.
Our products are Made in Britain accredited but designed and tested to international standards, ensuring our solutions are at the forefront of technology and regulation, globally.
Our Solutions
Smoke Ventilation SE Controls offers a comprehensive range of natural and powered Smoke Heat and Exhaust Ventilation systems (SHEV) suitable for any size and type of building. Our systems are designed to facilitate the safe escape of occupants in the event of a fire and to enable the fire to be fought in its early stages.
Environmental Ventilation Environmental or Natural ventilation improves indoor environments, reduces CO2 emissions and is cost efficient. Adaptive environmental ventilation systems are less costly than traditional HVAC systems, being cheaper to install, run and maintain. Adaptive natural ventilation is leading the way for a sustainable future.
Façade Automation Automatically opening windows uses hardware, known as actuators or rotary handles, that fit directly onto the window system which push and pull the window open and closed, instead of operating the window manually.
Intelligence
Remote Services Using 4G communications technology and intelligent algorithms we can analyse the data collected from our systems placed within buildings to continually improve operating efficiencies and report back on the findings of our research to help you better understand your buildings.

Evelyn Grace Academy
Façade automation for environmental ventilation, CO2 and temperature control incorporating night time cooling.
The 2011 RIBA Stirling Prize resulted in a triple success for SE Controls as its specialised smoke and natural ventilation solutions are used not only in Zaha Hadid’s stunning award winning design for Brixton’s Evelyn Grace Academy, but also in two of the other five shortlisted finalists.
The Evelyn Grace Academy incorporates four separate schools within a single building and to ensure that high levels of natural light are available throughout the building, the exterior makes full use of glass cladding, which forms part of the natural heating and ventilation incorporated within the design.
Control and management of the natural ventilation system’s concealed vents is handled by more than 70 SE Controls OS2 Controllers linked to the building management system (BMS) to provide incremental operation of the vents to ensure ample fresh air is supplied at all times throughout the building.
Natural ventilation also forms part of the SE Controls’ solution installed at another RIBA Stirling Prize finalist, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. SE Controls provided the smoke and natural ventilation strategy in the rebuilt restaurant area, the colonnade and the link bridge connecting the building to a newly built observation tower.
The multi-zone smoke and natural ventilation solution developed and installed for the RSC theatre by SE Controls utilises a range of EN12101-2 chain actuators connected to dedicated zone control panels as part of the fire alarm system and linked to the building’s BMS. The natural ventilation solution is also linked to the smoke ventilation system to clear smoke and enable visitors to evacuate the building in the event of a fire.
SE Controls specialises in the design, project management and installation of advanced smoke ventilation and natural ventilation solutions to meet the needs of architects, contractors, building services engineers and facilities managers.
SE Controls launch social media campaign to celebrate 40 years
To celebrate the 40 year landmark, SE Controls will be looking back on achievements in a series of 40 social media posts over 40 days.
From the companies first ever project in Wolverhampton, UK in 1981, SE Controls has since worked on some truly remarkable projects across the globe. From glazed pyramids in China and banks in Mozambique to Dragon shaped shopping malls in Dubai, the seat of government in London and the tallest statue in the world in Gujarat, projects aren't turned down because they are difficult, they're taken on because they are inspiring. The growth of the company over the last 40 years has been built on commitment to product safety and compliance. Innovation through great teamwork and technology has repeatedly delivered market leading products that are literally installed throughout the world. Cloud Technology and Data Integration are now enabling the group to improve building safety through optimised product performance using real time data. With a renewed legislative focus on improving building safety coupled with commitment to leveraging technology, SE Controls is well placed to bring about a step change in the industry and set a new norm for resident safety and peace of mind for building managers and developers.
Over the coming months SE Controls will be sharing with the industry the vision for the future and how 4 decades of experience and expertise will help to provide a better and safer built environment for the next 40 years of life safety smoke ventilation.
