Smoke control covers the movement of smoke and the systems used to manage its paths and accumulation within buildings. Topics include smoke movement, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation, stair pressurisation, smoke barriers and smoke reservoirs.

Articles examine airflow, pressure differences, replacement air, stratification and the behaviour of smoke in larger spaces. The category also includes atrium smoke control and plume behaviour at balconies. It connects the physical processes that transport smoke with the arrangements used to protect particular spaces and routes during a fire.
