Building perimeter security
|
Events early in the 21st century redefined how we view security in our public spaces. The concepts of risk mitigation and continuity of business changed forever. Planning for potential bioterror and pandemic events is now a primary consideration. Bioterror and pandemics — Crisis preparedness and risk mitigationThese days, building security planning and risk mitigation span a whole new spectrum. However, including air intakes as part of a building envelope security system largely remains a final, unsolved frontier. StrionAir helps you circle the wagons. With entirely unique germicidal capacity, high particle-capture efficiency, and low airflow resistance, StrionAir products represent real enhancements to security against airborne threats. Proven to rapidly kill weapons-grade anthrax, smallpox, SARS, and avian flu, among many others germs, StrionAir Systems are a superb solution. And they come with a cost-effective, low-energy-footprint implementation that allows broad deployment never before considered affordable. Stairwell pressurization fansThe National Fire Protection Association requires that egress routes (emergency exits) from buildings have protection from smoke infiltration. Most significantly, every stairwell must include a stairwell pressurization fan (SPF). Triggered by a fire alarm, these fans energize to place a positive pressure in the stairwell. They are small enough that doors can still be opened easily, but large enough that small air currents move out of the stairwell when a door is opened, pushing potential smoke back into that space. Where does that SPF find the air to pressurize the stairwell? Outside. And what's outside in a major catastrophe? As so many buildings in the City of New York experienced — more smoke. SPFs must now include high-quality air filtration to prevent the possibility of pressurizing egress routes with outside contaminants. And several elements are highly desirable in a filter:
