Narrative Report

One of the most vital components of fire safety that numerous facilities needs is the Fire
Detection and Alarm System, as it is essential not only for protecting properties but it could also
save lives by detecting fires in its early stages, alerting the occupants and allowing them to
evacuate, controlling fire safety functions, providing notification of fire alarm, supervisory, and
trouble conditions, and it also has the capability to summon aids. As such, buildings require the
installation of FDAS to enhance safety and preparedness of the institution for potential
emergencies.
In this light, the class was given a task to design the Fire Detection and Alarm System of
a three-story building. This will include its floor plan layout with FDAS installed, riser diagram,
input-output matrix, detector spacing calculations, voltage drop calculations, and sound-pressure
level calculations. This is done by ensuring compliance with the established codes and regulatory
standards set by the local authorities and international association. Furthermore, it was decided
that an addressable system will be used for the project.
In terms of the brand of the FDAS devices, the team chose Hochiki, a UL listed Japanese
manufacturer which has been producing and supplying high-quality detectors to the fire alarm
market for more than 50 years, showing its reliability and established trust for providing life
safety solutions. The brand was determined by considering if the company sells an addressable
system, as well as checking if specific requirements related to the detectors are accessible and
available, as well as its listed spacing, and calculations included in its specifications and data
sheets for an efficient workflow. Aside from the detectors and other devices that will be
discussed in the latter part of this paper, the cable that the team used for the design of the
electrical wiring is the No. 14 American Wire Gauge, which was the required size for the devices
used. The FACP to be used and to be installed at the ground floor of the building is the Latitude
2-8 Loop Analogue Addressable Control Panel. After connecting all the devices on all the floors
of the building, the total cable length accumulated to 979.49 meters or approximately 980 meters
including the allowances as per NFPA 70.

Ground Floor
The students were assigned the responsibility of developing a fire detection and alarm
system that could adapt to changes on the ground floor of the building. At the outset, a floor plan
for this area was made available but it had not been revised to account for recent structural
changes and renovations.
 Developing the Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) layout for the ground floor of
the building began carefully and systematically, wherein an initial team meeting was held to
clearly define the objectives of the undertaking, assign responsibilities to each working
individual, and establish a well-structured project timeline, emphasizing effective collaboration
and communication within the group.
In particular, the measured depths of the beams on this floor precisely equaled 10% of the
ceiling height, and the gaps between the beams exceeded 40% of the ceiling height. In light of
these measurements, the students considered the guidelines specified in the National Electrical
Code, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and the Fire Code of the Philippines. These
guidelines encompassed aspects like electrical wire connections and detector placements. As a
result of their analysis, they determined that the heat detectors should be installed within the
beam pockets, resulting in a total requirement of 14 heat detectors in the main room.
The process commenced with a precise examination of the building's layout. Although
there was already a floor plan provided, the group recognized the importance of maintaining
accuracy, knowing the state of the facility and the rooms it has, and all other information
necessary for designing its FDAS. These measurements were essential to determine the spacing
required for installing devices such as smoke detectors, fire alarm bells, and manual pull stations.
Moreover, the site visit was also intended to find out the present functionality of the rooms or
how it is currently used, the type of occupancy, and the level of hazard. Afterward, they
recreated the floor plan using AutoCAD, ensuring an exact digital representation of the site, in
which this preparatory step served as the foundation for their FDAS layout.
Furthermore, the ground floor of the building served dual purposes as rooms, needing
prior FDAS installations. The group installed smoke detectors to enhance safety due to the
adaptable nature of these spaces, accommodating frequent occupancy changes and varied
activities. Areas like laboratories, technical rooms, restrooms, and offices, as well as open
corridors, were equipped with spot-type smoke detectors. In addition, the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) found its place at the lobby's main entrance due to the absence of a dedicated fire
command center, ensuring overall safety during potential emergencies.
Prior to these calculations, a comprehensive review of the Philippine Electronics Code
book and NFPA 72 determined detector installation requirements for designated zones and
rooms. The products chosen for the ground floor are the FBB-150I Fire Alarm Bell, DCP-AMS
Series Addressable Manual Pull Station, and ACC-V Digital Analog Multi-Criteria Sensor,
which followed a nominal spacing of 9.1 meters as the baseline for determining the number of
detectors required in each room. Calculations included measurements of room dimensions,
multiplication of length and width for row and column detectors, and considerations for distance
from the wall and spacing between detectors to ensure thorough coverage and accuracy.
Additionally, creating the riser diagram also involved precise calculations, factoring in detector
distances from walls, spacing, and the necessary quantity for each room or designated area.
These calculations strictly adhered to the specific range requirements outlined in the Philippine
Electronics Code, ensuring compliance with established standards.
In the duration of the design process, there were challenges faced by the students. One
primary problem is the measurements of different parts of the ground floor, specifically the
beams as it caused the team to spend time in doing such since it is not included in the given floor
plan. The measurements' accuracy is fundamental for effectively placing detectors and the layout
in general. Another problem encountered is selecting the most compatible brand for the initiating
devices. Since there are many options, finding reliable and compatible devices for the FDAS
layout becomes a challenge. Finding devices that met the standards within the budget constraints
required careful consideration. Also, one more struggle was presented by the corridor, which met
two distinct criteria cases. To address this, the team employed a uniform formula for detector
spacing and placed the detectors at the bottom of the beams, since the corridor’s width is less
than 3 meters and the beams are parallel to the length of the corridor. These adaptations ensured
a practical FDAS layout for the corridor. Despite the different challenges that we experienced,
after identifying each problem, it was then efficiently addressed by the team.

Second Floor
The building's second floor, presented a unique challenge that called for precision and
meticulous planning in the creation of its Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS). The
students' task to ensure safety and preparedness in this academic environment began with a
comprehensive team meeting. The discussion at this meeting laid the groundwork for the
students' ambitious undertaking, with each member of the team contributing their expertise and
skills. The initial phase of this endeavor was to assess the existing floor plan of the building.
While a floor plan was at our disposal, we recognized the critical importance of absolute
precision and completeness. To address this, the students' team ventured on an on-site
examination of the second floor. This detailed inspection involved measuring beams and ceiling
heights that, surprisingly, were not documented in the floor plan. These measurements would
prove indispensable as we calculated the optimal positioning of vital fire detection components –
smoke detectors, alarm bells, and manual pull stations.
This on-site investigation served a dual purpose. Beyond enhancing our understanding of
the building's physical structure, it also aimed to decipher how various rooms were utilized and
identify the different kinds of occupancy within the premises. Additionally, the students'
assessed potential fire threats that might be encountered. Safety was a top priority, so we took a
strategic approach to the installation of smoke detectors in these areas. Furthermore, common
spaces such as restrooms, workplaces, and open hallways saw the installation of spot-type smoke
detectors.
Designing the FDAS for the second floor was a systematic process. These calculations
adhered rigorously to the guidelines established in the Philippine Electronics Code book 2 and
NFPA 72. Precise measurements considered factors like room dimensions, distances from walls,
detector spacing, and other relevant variables, ensuring comprehensive coverage and alignment
with industry standards. The students' task also had its obstacles. Just like on the first level, beam
measurements on the second floor posed a significant challenge. Achieving proper detector
placement and overall arrangement was time-consuming but non-negotiable. A critical balancing
act was performed, taking into account both reliability and financial constraints when selecting
the FDAS brand and models. Additionally, designing the corridor layout proved to be a
demanding task, as it had to meet specific standards.
Through tenacity, problem-solving, and efficient collaboration, the students successfully
devised an FDAS layout for the second floor of the Building that prioritizes safety, ensuring a
secure academic environment for all who step through its doors.

Third Floor
The third floor of the building includes rooms that serve dual purposes, which is a
necessary establishment standard contained in FDAS. In order to make an accurate floor plan,
the rooms and hallways on the third floor were measured, and an existing layout plan provided
by the instructor was compared with the team’s actual measurements; hence, necessary
adjustments were made. The right measurements were essential in order to make this in accurate
layout form.
To meet the highest safety standards, the team complied with the regulations and codes,
including NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling
Code), RA 9514 (Fire Code of the Philippines), and other relevant regulations. The team planned
the installation of fire safety devices, including the smoke detectors, 2 pull box stations and 2 fire
alarm bells. As for the spacing, the calculations revealed that there shall be an eight-meter
distance between adjacent detectors and they shall be located 4.025 meters away from the walls.
Also, a smoke detector was deemed necessary to be installed in the elevator lobby to allow recall
operations during emergency situations. In addition to the basic fire safety components, the team
considered installing alerting devices including a fire bell alarm. This alarm serves as a means to
provide early notification to the occupants of the building enabling them to formulate a safe
evacuation plan. Additionally, a manual pull station is planned to be positioned on the walls at
heights 2.1 meters and 1.4 meters above the floor. This clear and accessible placement of manual
pull stations in visible locations within the building makes them easy to locate and operate
during an emergency.
Slight challenges also occurred to the team assigned to the third level of the building such
as minimal confusions in terms of the design process. However, the ocular inspection that was
conducted and communication with other groups easily resolved the situation. This made them
realize the importance of teamwork and collaboration in addressing problems and ensuring a
successful outcome.

DETECTOR SPACING CALCULATIONS

The layout of the floor plan of the 3 Story Dormitory, consisting of a Fire Detection and Alarm
System, will be based on the calculations for the spacing of initiating devices, specifically the
different types of detectors. Here, the second book (Fire Detection and Alarm System) of the
Philippine Electronics Code will be used as a reference for the design requirements in
compliance with local regulations and standards. Moreover, the NFPA 72 will also be utilized as
a supplementary reference for additional information.
According to Section 17.7.4.1.2 of NFPA 72, the design shall account for the contribution of the
following factors in predicting detector response to the anticipated fires to which the system is
intended to respond:
1. Ceiling shape and surface
2. Ceiling height
3. Configuration of contents in the protected area
4. Combustion characteristics and probable equivalence ratio of the anticipated fires
involving the fuel loads within the protected area
5. Compartment ventilation
6. Ambient temperature, pressure, altitude, humidity, and atmosphere

In terms of detector spacing, as the floor to ceiling distance of every floor of the building is 2.794
meters, Section 2.5.4.6 of the Fire Detection and Alarm System Book of the Philippine
Electronics Code is followed as it states that for flat ceilings with a height of not more than 4
meters, the following shall be complied with:
1. Smoke detector spacing shall not be more than 9 meters. Therefore, all points on the
ceiling shall have a detector within a distance of 6.4 meters.
2. Spacing of detectors from walls or partitions shall not be less than 300 mm and not more
than 4.5 meters.
3. For sloping ceiling or roof, the spacing shall be 9 meters maximum measured along a
horizontal projection of the ceiling. The detector located at the lowest point along the
slope shall be installed at a point at least 1 meter above the horizontal base line of the
slope. The detector located at the highest point along the slope shall be located at the
apex.
4. Smoke detectors shall not be installed less than 1 meter from any air supply diffuser or
outlet, or any other ceiling devices or fixtures that do not cause electromagnetic
induction, such as lighting fixtures, speakers, transmitters, a minimum distance of 1 meter
shall be maintained between the detector and the device.

Ground Floor
In compliance with NFPA 72 Section 17.7.4.2.4.2, which states that for ceilings with beam
depths of less than 10 percent of the ceiling height, smooth ceiling spacing shall be permitted and
spot-type smoke detectors shall be permitted to be located on ceilings or on the bottom of the
beams, the number of detectors along the length and width of the room will be determined by the
formula for flat ceilings:
room dimensions
number of detectors=
listed maximum spacing
This will be used as the beam depth is measured to be 0.1397 meters, which is less than 0.2794
meters - 10 percent of the ceiling height.

Also, the spacing between detectors is defined as the ratio of the dimension of the room to the
number of detectors per row:
room dimensions
SD=
number of detectors per row
As for the wall-to-detector spacing, it is calculated using the formula:
room dimensions−(number of detectors−1)(detector −detector spacing)
WD=
2

With this, the Convenience Store, having an area of 64 square meters, will be installed with:

Table 4 demonstrates that there will be a 8 -meter spacing between adjacent detectors in
the Laundry Service. However, it is to be noted that one detector is sufficient to cover the whole
area, in which it will be placed away from the wall with a distance of 4 meters which means that
it will be located at the center of the ceiling.

For the CCTV & Storage room, provided that it has the same dimensions of 64 square meters as
the other rooms, the number of detector (s) that will be installed is as follows:

As shown in the computations in Table 5, there must be one detector per row and column,
hence only one detector must be installed in the room that will be placed at a distance of 4 meters
from the wall both horizontally and vertically. It is also noticed that it must have an 8-meter
spacing across the adjacent detectors.
Another room located on the ground floor of the building is Study Area which also has an area of

The number of detectors that must be installed for the room is shown in Table 6. As
computed, one detector must be installed along the room’s length and width. Hence, only one
detector will be installed for the whole area wherein it must be located 8 meters from adjacent
detectors and at a distance of 4 meters from the walls.

Second Floor
To maximize the efficiency of detectors, it is best to centralize the detectors as much as
possible. To do so, the calculations for number of detectors, distance between detectors, and
distance of detectors from the walls are needed, which can be found using the room dimensions.
