Abstract

Fire protection and life safety strategies for modern buildings and facilities are developed to accomplish specific goals and objectives as agreed to by the relevant stakeholders. Effective implementation of such strategies requires not only sound design and installation of the relevant building systems and features, but also the proper integration and coordination of such systems and features. The overall process for properly integrating and coordinating the applicable systems often requires significant effort and focus as the various systems are often designed and installed by different engineering and contracting disciplines, and approved by different enforcement agencies. As such, it is critical that the building system integration and coordination process be appropriately considered throughout the project. This chapter overviews the systems integration and coordination process throughout design, installation, commissioning (Cx), and acceptance testing.

Glossar
Acceptance Testing
Test performed with the local authorities and possibly the engineer of record or owner to show the fire protection or life safety system performs appropriately for final acceptance or approval.
Basis of Design (BOD)
A report that documents the criteria of the fire protection and life safety design, which indicate the concepts and approach selected for a project, which should meet the Owner’s requirements and applicable codes.
Commissioning (Cx)
A formal process during the design and construction phase of a project that provides independent review and documentation that an individual system functions according to the design outlined in the project documentation, meeting the projects goals and objectives and applicable codes.
Commissioning Authority (CxA)
The company or firm that is responsible and oversees the entire commissioning process for a building.
Commissioning Plan
A project document that outlines the process, tasks, and procedures for implementation of commissioning.
Data Sharing Connection
One of the methods of sharing information between interconnected fire protection systems via data streams.
End to End Test
A test that replicates a real world situation that does not use simulations, such as shorting out a sprinkler water flow switch. For example, consider sprinkler system electrical supervision, the water flow indicating switch can be shorted to simulate water flow. Flowing water through the sprinkler system’s inspectors test connection to verify fire alarm supervision represents an end to end test. Another example is visual verification of elevators recalling when an elevator lobby smoke detector is activated.
Emergency Control Function Interface Device
The electronic interface, typically emergency control function interface devices (relays), between two or more fire protection and life safety systems that is a coordinated signal output to perform a particular control function (e.g. fire alarm system relay for elevator recall).
Evacuation Signaling Zone
An area consisting of one or more notification zones where evacuation signals are actuated throughout.
Fire and Life Safety Commissioning
A formal process during the design and construction phase of a project that provides independent review and documentation that individual fire protection systems function according to the design outlined in the project documentation, meeting the Owner’s Project Requirements and applicable codes.
Fire Commissioning Agent (FCxA)
An independent company or person, acting as an owner representative, who implements and leads the commissioning of fire protection and life safety systems. Globally different terms may be utilized, for example, in France this person is referred to as the Coordonnateur SSI.
Interface Test
A test that provides verification of the performance of the systems being interfaced/interconnected to meet the project goals and objectives. An end to end test or simulating event, through shorting out a emergency control function interface devices (relay) to simulate the input, is required.
Integrated System
Two or more fire protection and life safety systems that are designed and coordinated to operate together in order to meet the BOD, Owner’s Project Requirements, and applicable code requirements. A prison guard can be part of an integrated system, in which the guard relies on information from the fire alarm system or the emergency communication system in order to determine if he or she will manually release the door locking controls.
Integrated Testing
Testing of integrated fire protection and life safety systems to verify the proper operation and sequence of the integrated systems (multiple systems) to meet the BOD, project goals and objectives, and applicable codes.
Integrated Testing Agent (ITa)
An independent company or person selected by the owner who develops, implements, and documents the Integrated Test of the integrated fire protection and life safety systems.
Integrated Test Plan
A plan on how and what tests will be performed on to confirm the proper integration of two or more fire protection system or life safety systems.
Interconnected Systems
Two or more fire protection and life safety systems that have physical or electronic connections between the systems to meet the BOD, project goals and objectives, and applicable codes.
Interconnection
The connections between two or more interconnected fire protection and life safety systems. The term interfacing is sometimes also used to describe interconnections.
Life Safety Systems
A system that enhances life safety, such as evacuation, tenability (like a smoke control system) or compartmentation.
Notification Zone
An area of a building that occupants would receive a common notification signal throughout an area.
Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR)
Owner and user developed project requirements and performance criteria developed that describe project goals and criteria for system function, performance and maintainability.
Periodic Integrated Test
A test to re-verify the proper integration between multiple systems that occurs on an identified recurring period basis.
Pre-functional Testing
System tests performed prior to acceptance testing to verify the fire protection or life safety system performs per the BOD, OPR, and applicable codes.
Re-commissioning (Re-Cx)
Commissioning of existing fire protection and life safety systems that have been previously commissioned.
Retro-commissioning (RCx)
Commissioning of existing fire protection and life safety systems that have never been commissioned.
