Presenter: David Quirk

Current NFPA requirements for fire detection in high airflow environments do not properly address current available detection technology, the introduction of aisle containment systems, or the increasing air velocities and air change rates (current standards limited to 60 ACH) in electronic technology spaces such as data centers and telecommunication facilities. This session will cover current considerations, current NFPA requirements, industry research status, and status of work by a joint NFPA 75/NFPA 76 task group for detection in high airflow environments.
