MANAGING EFFECTIVE FIRE PROTECTION How to maximise safety in unheated spaces

摘要

One of the most significant challenges facing fire protection engineers is to design and specify a risk-based fire safety strategy that protects life, assets and the environment, while also being cost-effective. The outlook for non-residential construction, specifically commercial and industrial (C&I) projects, appears positive, and protecting critical C&I buildings will be a key consideration as the market continues to grow. North America and Europe are forecasted to be the primary growth markets in C&I sectors, with five-year average annual growth rates projected at 2%, leading to a potential market value of US $1.3 trillion by 2020.
