Hotels

Ho­tels typ­ic­ally have a high dens­ity of people.   As people spend their time in the hotel rooms both at night and dur­ing the day, per­sonal safety must be en­sured around the clock.   Es­pe­cially in at­tract­ive inner city loc­a­tions, ho­tels are often built on many floors.   This gives rise to spe­cial re­quire­ments re­gard­ing fire pro­tec­tion, since for ex­ample the turntable lad­ders of fire bri­gades are gen­er­ally no longer of suf­fi­cient height to res­cue hotel guests and staff dur­ing an emer­gency.

The risks that may lead to a fire are man­i­fold.   Care­less smoking in hotel rooms is one of the most com­mon causes of fire.   The con­stant run­ning of light sys­tems may lead to over­heat­ing and trig­ger a fire.   In ad­di­tion, tech­nical de­fects in aux­il­i­ary fa­cil­it­ies, e.g. HVACR rooms or emer­gency gen­er­at­ors, may cause the out­break of a fire.

Fires often have dev­ast­at­ing ef­fects, es­pe­cially in ho­tels built to a great height.   Fires can spread very rap­idly and un­con­trol­lably via flashover.   On higher floors, the safety of per­sons is par­tic­u­larly at risk through long and pos­sibly blocked es­cape and res­cue routes.

Flames, smoke, gas emis­sions, heat – fire has many fa­cets.  Orena has the right fire de­tect­ors for the vari­ous areas within a hotel.  Their sig­nals con­verge in the fire de­tec­tion and ex­tin­guish­ing con­trol panel, which is­sues an alarm to the people at risk and the fire bri­gade.  In ad­di­tion, the Orena panel mon­it­ors the in­stalled fire pro­tec­tion sys­tem for proper func­tion­ing and elec­tric­ally trig­gers the ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems that are not equipped with their own trig­ger­ing ele­ments, e.g. sprink­ler sys­tems.
