20 Performance Based Solution 20
21 Solution: Concept Remove/Minimize Ignition Sources High voltage only present while in motion Minimize other power while occupied Supplement Firefighting with Dedicated Standpipe Connections Detection and Suppression Air-Aspirating Smoke Detection Linear Heat Detection High-Pressure Water Mist 21
22 Detection and Suppression Zoned Deluge Water-Mist Double Interlocked with Smoke and Heat Detection Ensure fire signature for activation Multiple warnings prior to system discharge Zoning Concept Zone defined as the length of two adjacent rows Mist discharge on front of two rows Heat detection determines activation zone Fire zone plus two adjacent to encapsulate event 22
23 Air Aspirating Detection Set to data center-like sensitivity levels Four tiers of notification Alert: Notifies staff Action: AHU Shut down Fire 1: Initiate A/Vs Fire 2: One component of double interlock for water mist suppression system activation 23
24 Air Aspirating Detection Detector rides while carrier cable trays protect wiring Pyrotechnics mode Interrupt A/Vs, retain system interlock 24
25 Linear Heat Detection Low Temperature for Early Detection Initiates Building Fire Alarm Interlock Component that Determines Water Mist Activation Zone 25
26 High Pressure Water Mist Emulates Total Flooding Small droplet size High velocity discharge Direct line of sight not required Nozzles Listed for OH1 Non-hazardous discharge Minimize water damage 26
27 High Pressure Water Mist Positive displacement fire pumps Continuous application FM Approved No integrity/hold time required 27
28 High Pressure Water Mist Moves with System using High Pressure Flex Hoses Not Listed, but previously used in FM insured applications 28
29 Conclusion: Evaluation Sprinkler protection required Zoned deluge, high-pressure water mist Supply air plenum Early detection, notification and action Suppression for incipient/early fire Limited Access for Firefighting Early detection, notification and action Supplemental standpipe connections 29
30 Conclusion: Stakeholders -Egress Assembly Population- Incipient detection for early action Minimize false alarms/unnecessary discharge Control a single fire event by: Protecting under two most extreme configurations Non-hazardous system discharge Avoid systems with finite discharge limits or provide remote backup UL listed and/or FM approved Designed, signed and sealed by a P.E. Installation complete in 6 months 30
31 Conclusion Performance based design solution: Maintains the level of fire protection intended by code for the Tobin Center Gala System occupants without compromising the flexibility afforded by such a unique seating/flooring system. 31
