Abstract
This master's thesis delves into the comprehensive analysis of cost-benefit aspects pertaining to fire detection systems, with a specific application to such systems at the scientific facility CERN. Fire detection systems play a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of buildings and occupants. The study aims to evaluate with a cost-benefit methodology the tipping point at which the installation of a new fire detection system is beneficial comparing to the existing one. As a result of the analysis conducted, it has been determined that the advantage of replacing the current fire detection system with a new one is significant when there is a substantial reduction in fire-related damage that occurs without detection. The findings... (More)
This master's thesis delves into the comprehensive analysis of cost-benefit aspects pertaining to fire detection systems, with a specific application to such systems at the scientific facility CERN. Fire detection systems play a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of buildings and occupants. The study aims to evaluate with a cost-benefit methodology the tipping point at which the installation of a new fire detection system is beneficial comparing to the existing one. As a result of the analysis conducted, it has been determined that the advantage of replacing the current fire detection system with a new one is significant when there is a substantial reduction in fire-related damage that occurs without detection. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for decision-makers in both public and private sectors regarding the optimal allocation of resources for fire safety measures. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of implementing robust fire detection systems to mitigate potential risks and losses effectively. (Less)
