Fire suppression
Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
Power quality and distribution
- Assume you have been asked to review the power needs of a stand-alone computer system that processes important but noncritical data. Although the system does not have to be online at all times, it stores valuable data that could be corrupted if the power system were suddenly interrupted. Which UPS features are most important to such a system? Which type of UPS do you recommend for it?
- Using a floor plan from a building you are familiar with, design an electronic monitoring plan that includes closed-circuit television, burglar alarms with appropriate sensors, fire detectors, and suppression and access controls for key entrances.
