Residential Fire Sprinklers Retrofit Demonstration Project. Phase 2. Single Family Structures
The variety of characteristics encountered, such as size, construction, existing conditions, and uses of the buildings, provided a broad range of experience and information about retrofitting fire sprinklers in residential buildings undergoing rehabilitation. Useful information was generated regarding the technical and regulatory issues, design criteria, costs, and other practical aspects of retrofit systems. In many cases the authors found that day-to-day obstacles were administrative in nature, rather than technical or regulatory. Information from these installations may be useful to USFA and HUD when formulating future strategies to address the fire problem in existing residential structures. The costs of the systems and other key observations from the project are summarized in the report.
