Blog 16: Advisory Meeting #2

Essential Question: What is the most efficient fire protection installation for a warehouse?

Second Answer: Sprinkler heads are a huge component of a fire protection installation for a warehouse.

Supporting Facts: 
1. sprinkler heads are a huge component, because of the obvious reason of it administering the water in the area its designed to cover.
2. sprinkler heads are adaptive to the environment of which installation is taking place in, an example could be tough corner can be covered with a side wall sprinkler (which sticks out the wall covering 90 degrees off the wall).
3. The sprinkler head design is a science of its own, with physics formulas to discover the area covered with the amount of PSI water exerted from the pipes.
