Hotel Project
Introductions

This project installs a comprehensive fire safety early warning system for UK’s Comfortable hotel. There are 5 floors and 62 guest rooms, and features various functional spaces including a restaurant, meeting rooms, a large business center, public Wi-Fi areas, public laundry and dry-cleaning facilities, and underground or above-ground parking in hotel building. There is a typical high-risk commercial service establishment for its diverse functional spaces and high volume of people.

Referring to the building’s functional layout and operational requirements and product types and technical characteristics, the project is comprehensively designed and planned the fire detection and alarm system with the British BS 5839 fire safety regulation for this hotel. The system uses 128pcs alarms (smoke alarms, heat alarms, CO alarms) and controllers. It enables early fire warnings, timely evacuation, and emergency response.

😔 Challenges

Fase Alarms: Ordinary smoke alarms may frequently trigger false alarms in hotel restaurants, cooking activities areas and steam areas, that let clients feel bad and have a unhappy impression.
Architectural style and wires routing: Hiding wires or wireless doesn’t affect architectural appearance but needs comply with EN54 wiring’s standard.
Diverse Functional Spaces: Different functional areas have different risk characteristics requiring the most suitable alarms and linked each area’s alarms.

☺️ Solutions

Develop a Detailed Construction Plan: Use on-site survey data to develop a detailed wiring diagram, prioritizing wireless connections and pre-embedded conduits in the ceiling to minimize structural damage.
Zonal Installation Design: Divide rooms according to function, installing smoke detectors or combined smoke/CO detectors in guest rooms and corridors, and heat alarms in areas with significant temperature changes or less noticeable smoke， install combined smoke/CO detectors in gas boiler rooms, etc.
False Alarm Control and On-site Commissioning: Conduct an on-site risk assessment before installation and negotiate a false alarm tolerance mechanism with the logistics and hotel security, conduct system commissioning after installation, incorporate time delays or tiered alarm designs for scenarios with multiple fire sources, such as kitchens and laboratories.
Installing Combo alarms: Reduce false alarms in areas such as restaurants, conference rooms, and corridors, the project used photoelectric + heat combination detectors or multi-sensor wireless interconnected alarms to detect actual fires.
Training and Maintenance Planning: Provide training on equipment use and daily maintenance to hotel security and logistics, including monthly inspections, dust cleaning, and signal testing.

How Many Alarms

Explore how different areas are equipped with the appropriate types and number of alarms, ensuring effective fire safety across various environments.

Smoke Alarms

Following EN 54 standard (applicable to Europe): The coverage area and detector spacing for each detector are standardized. For example, a point detector can cover approximately 80㎡ on a flat roof, depending on the ceiling height and interior layout.
62 Guest rooms + 1200 m² Corridors & Public passageways + 2000 m² Restaurant & Meeting Rooms & Business Center + Lobby + Relaxation area + Restroom

62pcs smoke detectors for 62 guest rooms (1pcs alarm per room)
15pcs(1200÷80) smoke detectors for approximately 1200 m² corridors and public passageways
25pcs(2000÷80) smoke detectors for approximately 2000 m² restaurant, Meeting Rooms, Business Center
10pcs smoke detectors for Lobby, relaxation area and restroom

This project used total 112 pcs smoke detectors, the details are as follows:

40pcs SM11R4 Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm
50pcs SM17R Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm
8pcs SM32 cooking Mini Smoke Alarm
14pcs CS13R Wireless Interlinked Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Combo Detector

Heat Alarms

2 Boiler rooms + 1 Service room + 1 Commercial kitchen

The project used total 10 pcs heat alarms, the details are as follows:

2pcs Wireless Interlinked heat alarms HD11R per boiler room
2pcs Wireless Interlinked heat alarms HD11R per service room
4pcs Wireless Interlinked heat alarms HD11R per commercial kitchen

Heat alarms are installed in visible fire areas where smoke may easily cause false alarms.

CO Alarms

Boiler rooms + Gas Equipment Rooms, etc.

The project used total 6 pcs heat alarms, the details are as follows:

6pcs CS14R Interlinked Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Combo Detector

At least 1pcs CO detector per equipment room
With horizontal distribution across multiple floors

Choose The Right Alarms For Hotel

Based on the hotel’s spatial type and risk characteristics, the project will achieve fire (smoke/temperature rise) detection in all critical areas within the hotel and CO detection and early warning in areas where carbon monoxide leaks may occur (such as boiler rooms and machine rooms), so the project used three type alarms:
