22. Analysis 2 Water-Mist Fire Suppression System

23. Analysis 2 Water-Mist Background • Originally developed for protection of lumber drying kilns and ships • Gained popularity when Halon was deemed environmentally unsafe • Used today to protect gas turbines, machine rooms, and ships • Also used in computer rooms and laboratories • Recently used in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC

24. Analysis 2 How It Works • Highly pressurized nozzles release water droplets of varying size • Mist surrounds the fire and vaporizes, absorbing energy and removing heat from the source • Mist expands greatly, forcing oxygen away from the flame

25. Analysis 2 • Goal: To determine whether or not it would be advantageous to implement a water-mist system in the computer/data rooms and laboratories in the Memorial Hospital Miramar

26. Analysis 2 • Existing System: Traditional pre-action fire suppression system • Disadvantages • Large amount of water used to suppress fire • Larger piping needed to hold water • Little smoke control

27. Analysis 2 • Proposed System: HI-FOG water-mist system with smoke scrubbing • Incorporates sub-floor piping and ceiling piping • Sub-floor piping discharges mist in opposite directions causing the smoke to be sucked in and scrubbed • Ceiling mounted pipes discharge mist directly into room

28. Analysis 2 • HI-FOG System Advantages • Uses only 10-20% of water used in pre-action system • Smaller stainless steel piping • Smoke scrubbing element • Radiant heat blocking

29. Analysis 2 Water-Mist vs. Traditional Sprinkler Systems

30. Analysis 2 • Initial Installation Costs • Pre-action: $810,500 • Water-mist: $912,000

31. Initial Installation Costs Pre-action: $810,500 Water-mist: $912,000 Maintenance Costs Pre-action: $500-1000 per year Water-mist: $1000-2000 per year Analysis 2

32. Analysis 2 Conclusion: Due to higher first costs and higher maintenance costs of the water-mist system, the existing pre-action system should be used

33. Analysis 3 Flexible Building Design

34. Analysis 3 • Flexibility in building design needed due to: • Rapid Population Growth • Emerging Technologies

35. Analysis 3 • Goal: To increase the flexibility of the Memorial Hospital Miramar to enable the building to efficiently adapt to the changing needs of the user

36. Analysis 3 • Structural Redesign • Existing System: CIP Beams and Pre-cast Soffits • Proposed: Flat Slab System with Shear Walls • 10” slabs with 3” drop panels at columns • 8” shear walls around stairs and elevators

37. Analysis 3 • Advantages: • Simplified Formwork • Added plenum space • Height Reduction • Unrestricted placing of partitions

38. Analysis 3 Cost Analysis • Existing Structure: $11,121,278 • Flat Slab System: $8,221,602

39. Analysis 3 Schedule Analysis • Existing System: 26 weeks • Flat Slab System: 23 weeks

40. Analysis 3 • Panel Partition Walls • Advantages • Quick and easy assembly • Reusable • Can be taken down and reassembled in other locations • Dust free renovations

41. Analysis 3 Cost Analysis • Existing Walls: $593,000 • Panel System: $566,250

42. Analysis 3 • Panel Walls can cut erection time by approximately 13 days • Walls can be taken down and reassembled nearly 2x as fast as the regular wall system

43. Analysis 3 Conclusion Both the flat slab system and panel partition walls can not only save time and money on the project, but also give the building more flexibility to adapt to changing user needs
