FRGS15-192-0433: Identifying the minimum invasive active fire protection measures for Malaysian heritage buildings towards better preservation of the built heritage

In the case of a heritage building, until today, no proper legal requirements have been endorsed to protect historic contents and structures from fire. According to many international fire experts, fire safety systems in heritage buildings must be sympathetically designed in order to minimise the im...

According to many international fire experts, fire safety systems in heritage buildings must be sympathetically designed in order to minimise the impact on the historic character (authenticity) of the buildings.

Special considerations should be applied in upgrading fire safety systems in heritage buildings. Not only must the systems aim to comply with the relevant standards and provide the intended levels of protection, but additionally their impact on the building and its fabric must meet a range of tests. Furthermore, it is essential that full consideration be paid to the risks of potential damage to original fabric as well as the aesthetic impact fire systems might have on heritage buildings.
