The cost of saving property and lives by fire sprinklering new houses : phase 2 of the CMHC study, Analysis of the costs and benefits of installing fire sprinklers in houses / by Scanada Consultants Limited,... : NH18-1/372-1989E-PDF
"The mandatory installation of sprinklers in new house construction is being advocated by some Canadian groups. Such an approach to improving fire safety has indeed become more practicable with the advent of special residential systems featuring fast response heads, sharply reduced water demand and lower costs. Even these new systems, however, entail considerable costs and further reduce the affordability of new houses. The added costs could be justified if the resulting saving of property and lives were also considerable. Concerns were raised that this would scarcely be the case. Today's houses, with the fire safety provisions that have already been incorporated in recent years, may very seldom be where the fires occur and property and lives are lost. Responding to such concerns, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has sponsored this study to assess the costs and benefits associated with new house sprinklering"--Intro., p. 1.
