Understanding Fire Protection System Operations at Big-Box Stores (39TA)

NOTE: 4.0 Workshop – Mid-Rise ‘Groundscraper’ and High-Rise Buildings Symposium

Large commercial buildings, such as shopping malls, office complexes, and industrial facilities, present unique challenges when it comes to fire and emergency response. The sheer size, complexity, and variety of occupancy types necessitate a comprehensive approach that combines engineering ingenuity with strategic planning. In this class, we will explore the fire protection systems that protect these facilities, how to interact with them and how to ensure they are always available when needed.
