I. BACKGROUND OF THE BUILDING
The building is a hospital and has a height of (8) meters, width of Sixty-one (61) m and length of
Forty (40) m with a total floor area of 2440 sq. m including the basement of the building.

II. DESIGN CALCULATION

The design calculation used in designing the fire protection system of the building was the pipe
scheduling system.
First, the building was divided according to the area that will be covered by the protection system
and was summarized and listed below.

TOTAL 288.0589

Since the total area that will be covered by the system is 288.0589 m2 it is considered to be light
hazard or ordinary hazard with a condition having an area of 4 831 m2 using the pipe schedule
system.
Then, to be able to determine the numbers of sprinklers per area/room covered, the area was
divided by the minimum area covered by the sprinkler depending on what type of hazard were
determined per area covered/room. In ordinary hazard the area that will be used per sprinkler is
12.1 m2 and in light hazard is 18.6 m2 (NFPA #13, Table 8.6.2.2.1(a) and Table 8.6.2.2.1(b))

TOTAL SPRINKLER =424

The table 2 shows the desired numbers of sprinklers and of what specific hazard in each area
covered/room.
Lastly, to be able to get the water supply in each sprinkler, the density/area curve was used to
locate what specific water supple per sprinkler and multiplied by the area of the covered
area/rooms (NFPA #13, FIGURE 11.2.3.1.5 Density/Area Curves).
