A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Fire Protection Systems Designed to Protect Against Exterior Arson Fires in Schools
(2012) 9th International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods- Abstract
- Fires in school buildings caused by arson are a major problem in Sweden. The costs of these fires
are disproportionately high compared to the costs of fires in buildings in general, and it has been
shown that fires that start outside of the building in connection with an exterior wall, so called
exterior fires are especially problematic. However, technical systems can be used to mitigate the
consequences of arson fires in school buildings. In this paper a cost-benefit analysis is used to
calculate cost-benefit ratios for four technical systems used to detect these types of fires.
