136 - Fire Fundamentals pt 6 - The fire automation in a building

In this episode of Fire Fundamentals, we dive into the life-saving choreography of fire detection and building automation systems that must work together in case of a fire. We discuss the roles and challenges related to:

• fire detection and signalling;
• control panels and fire scenarios;
• smoke control and compartmentalization;
• power and water supply and management.

We also discuss the sources of potential delays in device operation, and how some of those are consciously built into the system as a means for false alarm mitigation.
