영문 초록

Automatic sprinkler protection has been commercially available for greater than 100 years. The loss history of facilities equipped with sprinkler systems is excellent when installed in accordance with nationally recognized standards such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or FM Global. According to NFPA there is no record of a fire killing more than two people in a completely sprinklered building where the system was properly operating, except in an explosion or flash fire or where industrial fire brigade members or employees were killed during fire suppression operation. During new construction, the cost of installing sprinklers is about the same cost of installing carpeting. Costs are slightly higher for existing, older and historical buildings.
