I have received many comments about dry systems we do use them here, however they are installed in areas susceptible to freezing like unheated attics and outdoor applications. They are not installed for general indoor protection as they have a much higher cost more complexity for testing and maintenance and require much more supervision. This does not need a dry system a wet system is completely normal for this application. The soffit space is supposed to be insulated and is indicated as such on the as-builts just never was actually installed.

Almost my whole building is a dry system, I have 2 risers and the Dry system covers 39,000sqft almost the whole building. I love it. The dry system is better for the environment and my wallet as we are able to use less heat. My fave is the sound of the air evacuating the system, it is cool

@@nics-systems-electric As was said before about the dry system but the other option since that area does not seem to have ventilation there maybe some heat tape on the pipes in the area would be a good idea.

I always used to see problems like this (reported as the wrong signal type to monitor, reporting the wrong zone or non-existent zones, etc.) and it was really bad with the addressable systems early on. Graphic annunciators should be a code requirement these days. My 1980 Michigan high school had a graphic annunciator (totally analog though with a shape of the building and colored incandescent lights at specific locations) and then there were sub-annunciators that were located in each zone (just a row of lights up near the ceiling) that drilled down the initiating device further, really advanced for 1978 when it was designed (also had an advanced smoke control system). It worked great for 20 years until they frankensteined it to a digital panel and botched it (graphic annunciator is a dead zombie now). At 2am over a holiday weekend, the fire dept got a signal for a pull station. Entered the school, checked the pull station and it was fine, then left. It was actually triggered by a water flow on the other side of the building due to a frozen pipe. Water ran for 2 days straight. They found nothing was programmed or working right and the next time we had a drill, they had to send us home because they couldn't shut off the horns. Then we had an arson fire (and attempted bombing) just before graduation in 2002. That building was never right afterwards so I hope yours is dried out and the problems are fixed.

The fire alarm shut the whole HVAC system down so I had to reset everything including the chiller. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put a sprinkler in the freezer was probably the apprentice

As much as it would have been a better move to drain the system right after shutting the control valve (and me internally screaming as you forgot), what you did is actually not uncommon - from other stories I've heard people only being able to shut the PIVs or just didn't even bother shutting the sprinkler system off over a weekend. Draining a system was banged into my head when I was doing ITM training with risers, and I bet that's not common. Lesson learned, next time it happens you know to drain the pipes. :)

Very unfortunate that the pipes burst, thankfully wet systems aren’t too common here anymore, they’re all air pressurised dry systems with a special valve that releases water once the air in the system is depressurised which would be caused by a popped sprinkler head
@nics-systems-electric

That is not the case here at all. Dry systems are installed in non-heated attics and any outdoor space that isn't insulated and heated. Indoor sprinkler systems are wet systems due to the higher cost and higher maintenance of dry systems that require expensive valves, and compressors and much more supervision.

This is why fire sprinkler pipes should be insulated in addition to the normal insulation. The make-up air system bringing in cold air could freeze more pipes that are normally inside the insulated envelope of the building. If they were insulated there would be less chance of bursting.

I could potentially see that being an issue during a real fire event too. Cold unconditioned makeup air could potentially cause freezing of sprinkler lines in non fire-affected parts of the building over a several-hour fire, reducing the available pressure to the fire. I could see this even more in an environment like a shopping mall with a high atrium ceiling that could act like a chimney with cold air being drawn in through the plenum on the lower floors. Sort of a high-risk/low-probability event.

I thought I explained that at the end of the video, but it's not a fault of the system in the school the alarm company had their programming labels wrong and had the alarm condition programmed as a trouble

@@GavenGaskill hes talking about the bill that comes along with them showing up. Its 5000 just for a false alarm. That's why I wouldn't take responsibility for calling them and would tell the school to. If you know there isn't a fire i don't know why he called them and said he did.

I noticed the fire alarms don't have the strobes, maybe they can fix that sometime so it will make it easier and more noticeable for when hosting a fire drill or when an actual fire begins.

Yes when it comes to paying the deductible though for commercial properties it can be upwards of $10,000 so you have to really consider the cost of repairs without using insurance to see if it's worth it
