Integrating an off-peak cooling system with a fire suppression system in an existing high-rise office building.

Author(s) : SLABODKIN A. L.

Summary

In certain jurisdictions, fire suppression systems require a fire water storage tank to supplement the normal source of water to the fire pumps. Off-peak cooling systems have numerous technologies, yet all require some form of storage tank or tanks. By combining the two systems such that they utilize a common storage reservoir, it is possible to save on first costs and help to motivate building owners to install off-peak cooling systems.
