The Appropriate Fire Prevention Technology for Historic Buildings

Abstract:

Historic buildings and Monuments in the precious historical and cultural heritage plays an extremely important position, with the characteristics of the rare, special and historical value. Over the years in Taiwan, The fire management deficiencies, Cause a fire to become the biggest killer on the destruction of historic monuments. In this study, Explore by referencing and comparing the major fire prevention regulations for historic buildings active and passive fire protection technology around the world, We can find more Active fire protection equipment is widely used . And the use of the superior characteristics of the water mist system in Long-Shan Temple in Lu-Kang, Chang-Hua County as an Empirical research, try to exemplify the way, make appropriate fire use in historic architecture the best program to explore. In conclusion, comparison of the application of various innovative active and passive fire prevention system , and use the appropriate fire prevention technology to design and planning to improve the fire safety for historic monuments and buildings is an important issue. According to the empirical research of “Long-Shan Temple”, we can find water mist technology suitable for historic buildings fire protection in Taiwan.
