Man, we need a lot more!

What is a 'smoke window'? A smoke vent? Are there any in your building today? Where are they?

How many floors is the building? How many floors does the cab travel to? What country? Under what model building code?

Is this in design stage, or is it existing and someone comes along and says "...and where are your 'smoke windows' "?

All good points Doorman, particularly Under what model building code? The answer to this question will answer the OP original question, not anybody's opinion here.
