 PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
02 INTRODUCTION
A passive fire system prevents or slows fire and smoke spread in structures. This suppression method will let
people escape a fire faster. PFP systems are recommended for infrastructure projects because they protect
persons and property.
SYSTEM - There are various kinds of passive fire defence systems. Before designing and building systems, several
different types of materials are explored. PFP is inactive in normal settings, but it plays a critical role during an
emergency.

Section VII of law 133–244 of the Uniform Building By Laws of 1984 specifies the minimum requirements for this
system.
SITE PLANNING - ISLAND SITE
FIRE APPLIANCE ACCESS
When designing a building, site planning shall include an accessway to enable fire appliances to enter the building. These openings shall be
provided along the perimeter of the building overlooking the accessway to ease fire fighting and serach and rescue operations in case of fire or
hazardouse situations. The accessway shall be designed according to the loal auothorities guidlines such as section 140 of UBBL 1984

UBBL 1984 - Part VII: Fire Requirements Section 140

(1) Fire appliance access shall be provided within the site of a building to
enable a fire appliance to gain access to the building.
(2) An access opening shall be provided along to provide access into the
building for fire fighting and rescue operation.

1. PURPOSE GROUP AND COMPARTMENT
Outside Stairwell
Compartmentation is the separation of a building into several cells using construction
elements that prevent fire from passing from one cell to another in a set amount of time.
This includes separating fire-risk regions and compartmentalising the entire area with
fire-resistant rated walls and fire doors. Sunway University is equipped with all of the necessary
structural fire protection precautions.

a) FIRE RATED DOOR

Fire door has better fire rating than regular door. Fire doors exclude oxygen to reduce fire
spread. This fire door is vital for building occupants and firefighters in a fire emergency.

Most fire doors must always be closed. Some doors are designed to remain open but close
in a fire event. No matter the mechanism, a door stop or block should never impede door
movement. Sunway University features fire-certified doors on exits and staircases that can Inside Stairwell

b) FIRE WALL
A firewall are exterior wall and a fire barrier that separates two areas and keeps the fire from spreading. Continuous fire barriers are built
between or through buildings, and they extend from the ground up to the roof. When properly constructed, they can survive a total building
collapse. To reach this goal. Firewalls are constructed to be more sturdy with great structural stability during fire circumstances compared to
the conventional walls. Sometimes buttresses or pilasters may also be required in order to offer enough lateral stability.3 to 4 hours of fire
protection is a typical rating for firewalls.

these by-laws to have FRP of one hour or more shall be constructed
wholly of non-combustible materials and, apart from any ceiling,
there quired FRP of wall or floor shall be obtained without
assistance from any non-combustible material.
c) Separation of Fire Risk Area
Fire spread can be reduced by compartmentalising high-risk areas away from the source of the fire. Separating areas of varying threat is also
essential. In the event of an emergency, this could also help to limit the spread of smoke and distinguish safe departure, evacuation, or refuge
areas.

i) Horizontal Exits (Door)
During a fire emergency, a means of escape is a route
designed to take people out of a structure and to a safer
location or assembly point. In high rise buildings, an enclosed A secured door opening in
stairwell or corridor will be designed along the side of the a wall, an open-air balcony,
structure to direct residents to the last escape. or a bridge that connects

ii) Vertical Exits (Staircase)
During an evacuation, the stairways, which serve as vertical exits, are vital. An emergency exit that is typically found outdoors or
sporadically within but apart from the main parts of the building is called a fire emergency staircase. The fire emergency staircase
offers a means of escape in the event of a fire or other emergency when the interior stairwells are inaccessible.
 c) Emergency Exit Sign
The emergency escape sign is essential in guiding and
effectively directing users to the emergency exit. These
emergency exit signs are powered by a battery backup
system, so they will always remain illuminated, even in the
event of a power loss.

i) Emergency Escape Plan

The emergency escape plan, which indicates the location

of emergency exits, fire extinguisher equipment, and the
firefighters intercom, is located in each elevator lobby on
each floor. In addition, it shows where users stand in
reference to the plan, providing them with a tool to get
their bearings in case of an emergency.

d) Assembly Point
Emergency Gathering Place In the event of an emergency evacuation,
signs are excellent for designating meeting places for large populations.
The purpose of these is to give people a secure place to stand while they
wait for help to arrive.
3. FIRE FIGHTING ACCESS
Firefighting access is essential for firefighters to enter a situation quickly and for rescue efforts to
proceed without difficulty in an emergency.

a. FIRE FIGHTING LOBBY

The protected zone contains a fire fighting

lobby, which needs to be located on every floor.
Where necessary, a firefighting lobby also
serves a firefighting stair and a firefighting lift.
Firefighters must be protected when making
their final approach to the fire level, and any
evacuees or firefighters who may be utilising
the stairs must be protected from a fire in the
lift. These are just two of the many reasons why
a fire fighting lobby is so important. to give
firefighters a safe exit from the fire, to lessen
the chance that they may become lost due to
poor vision, and to shield the lift from the
impacts of fire and smoke in nearby lodging

 ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION
03 INTRODUCTION
Active fire protection is regarded as one of the most critical components to consider when designing a modern
building structure. Active fire protection is a component of fire detection and prevention that responds to action or
motion and is responsible for detecting, alerting about, and attempting to eliminate the fire threat as part of the fire
containment process. Most of the more visible strategies to battle and extinguish a fire fall under the active
component of fire protection, since they actively aim to identify and respond to a fire.

Part VIII: Fire Alarms, Fire Detections, Fire Extinguishments and Fire Fighting Access

Detecting and extinguishing fire

- Every building should be provided with means of detecting and extinguishing fire and with fire alarms together
with illuminated exit signs in accordance with the requirements as specified in the Tenth Schedule By-Laws.
SMOKE DETECTOR
A smoke detector take a role as a sensor that detects smoke when there is an incident of fire. This smoke detector produce a signal to a fire alarm
system in a large building such as Sunway University.

Smoke detectors are used where the type of fire expected and equipment protection needs a faster response time than heat detectors. A smoke
detector will detect the sequences of the visible and invisible products of firing before temperature changes are sufficient to activate heat detectors.

There are 2 main of types of smoke detectors :

1. Photoelectric Smoke Detectors

2. Ionization Smoke Detectors

However, there are Dual Sensors Smoke Detectors which include both Photoelectric and Ionization Smoke Detector.

Ionization Smoke Detectors

Ionization Smoke Detectors are generally more responsive to fire that begin with a long period of smoldering.

Advantages of Ionization Smoke Detectors : Disadvantages of Ionization Smoke Detectors :

- Able to sense the smoke - Can create false alarm with cooking steam
- Stronger at detecting fast flaming fires

How does Ionization Smoke Detectors work?

Used to electrically charged plates to ionize When smoke enters the detectors, it disrupts the flow
the air in the sensor of the ions and triggers the alarm
HEAT DETECTOR

A heat detector is designed to sense the thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element. The thermal mass and
conductivity of the element regulate the rate flow of heat into the element.

Heat detectors have 2 key categorization of operation which is the"rate-of-rise" and "fixed temperature."

Heat detectors are usually placed in the places where there is possibility for extreme heat and high flames; generally heat detectors are placed
in storage rooms where chemicals or fuels are kept. It is also usually installed on high ceilings.

FLAME DETECTOR
A Flame Detector is an optical sensory device that design to
detect flames in space off building. Early detection has a
significant impact on a successful fire fighting effort. This
detector is reliable in a harsh environment where heat or smoke
detectors cannot be installed in the space of building, as they will
be continuously be triggered in such environments.

Flame detectors are special sensors that can effectively detect

the radiation emitted by flame. They are designed to effortlessly
differentiate the difference between a live flame and a false alarm.
Flame detectors will activated once they detect electromagnetic
radiation from one or more defined wave lengths according to
their design.

Types of flame detector :

- Ultraviolet (UV) Flame Detectors

- Infrared (IR) Flame Detectors

Where to place the Flame Detector :

The flame detector should be positioned at the perimeter of the

room, pointing directly at the anticipated flame or at the centre of
the area to be protected. If the detector cannot 'see' the whole of
the area to be protected, one or more additional detectors may be
required.

3.3 WATER BASED SYSTEM

There are 5 typical water based system which are standard sprinklers, wet riser, hose reels, fire extinguisher and fire hydrants.

Standard Sprinklers

A fire sprinkler system consists of a water supply network providing sufficient pressure to a water distribution systems which feeds to a series of
sprinklers that only operates when it detects a fire.

The type of sprinklers observed in the building are a pendent spray sprinklers and wet pipe system.

How Does the Fire Sprinkler System Work?

1 2 3 1. This Fire Sprinkler System consists of fire

sprinkler head which is plug, a vacuum-sealed
glass tube with liquid, and deflector plate.

2. When the temperature of the environment rises

and the liquid in the glass bulb begins to expand
and rise to much, it will breaks the glass.

3. The torrential water will come out and there is

nothing can stop the water because there are no
plug to hold the water from coming out.

UBBL - Section 226 :

Automatic sprinkler systems are required for storage and other types
of occupancies where automatic extinguishing system is necessary.
3.3 WATER BASED SYSTEM
Wet Riser

A Wet Riser is a water supply system that helps distributes a permanently charged flow of water from the town mains to landing valves at higher levels via
vertical pipes. Wet Riser is usually mandatory for vertical buildings that require excessive amount of pressure as part of fire protection.

They are functional in providing firefighters a fixed flow of water to parts of the building that lack in fire service equipment and designed to be integrated
into the ‘compartmentation’ of the building by avoiding the need to run hose reels between spaces.

Where is the suitable location for Wet Riser?

- The location of wet riser pumps and tanks are restricted to the ground, first,or second basement.
- Wet risers should be within fire-fighting shafts
- if necessary, in vicinity of the protected escape stairs.
- Wet riser outlets, or ‘landing valves’, may be within protected lobbies and enclosures following the proximity guidelines.

UBBL - Section 231 :

1) Wet rising systems shall be provided in every building in

which the topmost occupied floor is more than 30 meters
above fire appliance access level.

2) Wet riser systems shall be designed and installed in

accordance with M.S. 1489 that all parts of the floor are
within 45 metres from a landing valve.

3rd floor of Sunway University.
3.3 WATER BASED SYSTEM
Hose Reels

A fire hose is a high-pressure hose that carries water or other fire retardant such as foam to a fire to extinguish it. A fire hose reel system in Malaysia is an
equipment mounted close to a fire service to provide uninterrupted water supply in the event of a fire outbreak. The firefighters and volunteers can
efficiently initiate a quick response to a fire outbreak if a fire hose fitted in a building a full of pressurized water or a suitable fire-extinguishing agent.

There are two types of hose reels which are fixed and swinging hose reels. However, both hose reels are available in both manual and automatic versions.
They are often wall or cabinet mounted with hoses that are available in both 19mm and 25mm diameter and reach up to 30m when fully extended. They
are also fitted with a controllable nozzle enabling the operator to supply a controlled spray or jet of water on to the fire.

Where is the suitable location for Wet Riser?

Outdoor - attach to a fire hydrant or fire engine

Indoor - permanently attach to a building’s standpipe or plumbing systems

Fire Extinguisher

A Fire Extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. Fire extinguish consists of a
hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire. Fire extinguishers are divided into portable and
cart-mounted or also known as mobile extinguishers.

In Sunway University, the most prevalent

type of fire extinguisher is the Carbon
Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers.

They are extremely versatile and are

designed to tackle Class B flammable
liquid and Class C electrical fire hazards.

They are ideally suited for indoor

applications where fragile equipment or
processes require a clean extinguishing
agent.

Carbon Dioxide is an effective and clean

gaseous extinguishing agent that does not
leave any residue to clean up.

3.3 WATER BASED SYSTEM
Fire Hydrant

A fire hydrant is an above-ground connection that provides access to a water supply for the purpose of fighting fires. The water supply may be
pressurized, as the hydrants connected to water mains buried in the street, or unpressurized as the hydrants connected to a nearby water
resources such as pond. Every hydrants has one or more outlets to which a fire hose may be connected. If the water supply is pressurized, the
hydrant will also have one or more valves to regulate the water flow.

The fire fighters will remove the valve covers on the fire hydrant before they can attach hoses to the valves. Then, they open a valve that allows
water to flow through the hydrant into the hoses. The pressure available to fire hydrants must be sufficient pressure so that the fire hose nozzles
can force the water and it is the most effective way against fires. Moreover, if the pressure is sufficient, it helps in allow multiple hydrants to
operate at the same time without disadvantaging the rest of the system.

 3.4 NON WATER BASED SYSTEM
There are many cases where water-based
systems are not suitable to be used to
extinguish the fire, such as fires that involve
flammable and combustible liquids and
gases, electrical equipment, and combustible
metals. Hence, a non-water-based system is
needed to extinguish those types of fires.

● The type of Gas Extinguishing System

used in Sunway University is Nitrogen.
● Nitrogen is colourless and tasteless
gas
● Installed in the LV Room and Control
Rooms only

The IG55 extinguishing system is a gaseous type of fire suppression. It is a mixture of

Inert Gases; 50% Nitrogen and 50% Argon to extinguish fire. It's being used when water,
foam, or powder extinguishers are not effective and cause damage. Also it is known as
the "cleanest" Extinguisher. IG55 is able to extinguish surface burning fire in class A,B,
and C hazard used to suppress the fire by lowering the Oxygen to 12.5%. If the Oxygen
content is reduced 15%, the fire will start to stop burning. When an IG55 agent is
discharged to a room, it introduces a mixture of gases that will allow a person to breathe
at lower Oxygen level.

04 Mechanical Transportation System
4.0 Introduction
Mechanical transportation can be explained by breaking the term down into its individual definitions.
‘Mechanical’ defined as operated by a machine or machinery and ‘transportations’; a system which defines
as a means to provide movement of humans, animals and goods from one location to another.

In other words, “Mechanical Transportation” is the mechanical elements of a building that allow its users to
travel between specific levels and locations. All buildings with more than one level would have a means of
movement from floor to floor and it is especially crucial in high rise buildings to have Mechanical
Mechanical Transportation. This system can be found within, around and in general association with modern
buildings and developments.

4.0.1 Types of mechanical transportation

The more common types of installations include elevators and escalators whereas the more uncommon
types are are paternosters and travelators. There are two types of mechanical transportation systems used
in Sunway University are elevators and escalators.
 4.1 Elevators
Elevators are a type of mechanical transportation
system that transports users vertically in
building/structure from floor to floor. Elevators are
commonly powered by electric motors that drive
traction cables (hoist) and counterweight systems
while some pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical
priston (jack). In Sunway University, the traction
elevators are used.

Specifications

The elevator model that’s used in Sunway University is called the

Schindler 5500 and it is a machine room-less traction elevator.

The most common type elevators are traction elevators. Rolling steel
ropes over a pulley or sheave with deep grooves are used to raise
the elevator vehicle. The sheave is attached to an electric motor,
which elevates the elevator as the motor rotates in one direction.

The elevator is lowered by the sheave as the motor rotates the other
way. A counterweight is then used to balance the car's overall weight.
As a geared elevator, the Schindler 5500 uses a gear train that is
rotated by the motor. Sheave, motor, and control system are the three
main parts, and they are all kept in a machine room that is located
above the elevator shaft.
4.1.1 Elevator’s components
1. Drive
Store in the elevator shaft, the AC geared traction machine uses worm gears to control the mechanical
movement of elevator cars by “rolling/pulling” steel hoist ropes over a drive sheave which is attached to gearbox
driven by a high speed motor.
2. Counterweight Guard Rails
Elevators guide rails are components of the elevator systems that define the path along which the elevators ride.
3. Suspension Traction Media
Suspension Traction Media consist pf steel cords coated with elastometric material. The STM also saves shaft
spaces because of the smaller motor and traction sheave that is 72% smaller than traditional systems.
4. Counterweight
A weight that exerts an opposite and provides balance and stability of a mechanical system. Its purpose is to
make lifting the load more efficient, which saves energy and is less taxing on the lifting machine.
5. Car
This elevator (or car) type is an geared traction elevator and is generally powered by electric motors that either
drive traction cables and counterweight systems.
6. Control Panel
This is the system responsible for controlling the elevator’s integrated functions. It controls everything from floor
selection to the speed of the elevator.
7. Tension Pulley
Pulleys are used to evenly balance the counterweight and the elevator car (which carries the passenger or metal
box). Pulley in elevators reduce the friction and which in turn reduces the strain on the electric motor.
8. Car Buffer
The buffer is an appratus located at the bottom of elevator designed to protect people. Buffers can stop a
descending by accumulating or dissipating the kinetic energy of the car
4.1.2 Sustainability features

management. A modern tiny AC
(alternating current) motor is designed
to be energy-efficient, produce little
heat, and operate silently.
 ● Suspension Traction Media
Due to its smaller bend radius than traditional
steel ropes, Schindler's suspension traction
media (STM) is lighter and takes up less space.
The overall comfort of the journey is improved as
a result of the reduced noise that is produced
when sound is conveyed to the building and car.
The machine in your hoistway or machine room
will be smaller thanks to this space-saving
design. The STM also provide a more reliable,
smoother ride. They are a significant
improvement over traditional cables.
● Power Factor 1 Regenerative Drive
When compared to
conventional applications, the
Power Factor 1 (PF1) drive has
the ability to significantly cut
energy usage. The PF1 can also
recycle energy into an electrical
system in a building. The
technology will produce clean
energy when moving heavy
loads down an elevator and
light loads up, and this energy
may be used to power other
building necessities like lighting
and air conditioning.
4.1.3 Emergency Countermeasures
In the rare case of a fire, the elevators are
programmed to automatically go down all the way to
the Ground Floor and stop. This is to prevent anyone
from using the lifts during a fire.
4.2 Escalators
In Sunway University, the type of escalator used
throughout the campus is Step Type Escalator.
This type of escalator is most commonly used
today. The core components of an escalator
includes, a pair of chains that is looped around two
pairs of gears. An electric motor turns the drive
gears at the top, which rotate the chain loops. The
motor and chain system are housed inside the
truss, a metal structure extending between two
floors.

The chain loops move a series of steps. As the

chains move, the steps always stay level. At the
bottom of the escalator, the steps collapse on each
other, creating a flat platform. This makes it easier
to get on and off the escalator.
4.2.1 Escalator’s components
1. Handrail
A handhold that moves along the top of the Balustrade in
synchronization with the steps.
2. Balustrade
Escalators must provide solid/glass balustrades on each side and
is used to provide saftety to the users by preventing the falling off
the escalator.
3. Drive System
A system to drive the escalator, comprised of electric motor,
decelerator electromagnetic brake, V belt, Sprocket, and other
components
4. Truss
Assembly of structural steel that supports the weight and load of
an escalator. (A Control Panel< Drive Units for Steps and Moving
Handrails and other Components are housed inside the structure)
5. Step/Tread
The part of the step where a passenger stands. Rubber mats may
be attached to their surface to lessen slipage, and yellow
demarcation lines might be added to clearly indicate their edges.
The steps are linked by continuous metal chain so they form a
closed loop with each step able to bend in relation to its neighbors.
6. Tracks
A rail to guide the Driving and Railing rollers. The track system is
built into the truss to guide the step chain, which continously pulls
the steps from the bottom platform and back to the top in an
endless loop. There are actually two tracks: one for the front
wheels of the steps (called the step-wheel track) and one for the
back wheels of the steps (called the trailer-wheel track).

UBBL 124 Lifts
1) For all-non-residential buildings exceeding 4 stories above or
below the main access level at least one lift shall be provided.
Since is a 7 storey buildings, it fulfils the by-law requirements by
installing 10 passenger elevators.
UBBL 150 Protected Shafts
1) Subject to the provisions of this PArt, any protected shaft
shall be completed enclosed. All protected shaft in the vicinity of
Sunway University are safe and within enclosure.
2) Any wall, floor or other structure enclosing a protected shaft
but not being a protecting structure may contain such openings
as shall be in accordance with other provisions of these By-laws.
Though open, any structure from the skeletal elevator on the
4-6th floor of the vicinity are well protected and are accordance
with other provisions of the By-laws.
UBBL 152 Opening in lift shafts
1)Every opening in a lift shaft or lift entrance shall opening to a
protected lobby unless other suitable means of protection to the
opening to the satisfaction of the local authority is provided.
These requirements shall not apply too pentype industrial and
other special buildings as may be approved by D.G.F.S.
All the elevator openings of Sunway University will only open
when they reach a protected lobby. This is for safety purpose as
people might get caught between the gap of the lobby and
elevator shaft.
2)Landing doors shall have an FRP of not less than half the FRP
of the hoistway structure with a minimum FRP of half hour. The
landing door of the elevators of Sunway University are highly fire
resistant in case there is afire emergency, the fire can be hold off
long enough for the fire brigade to come.
3)No glass shall be used for in landing doors except for vision in
which case any vision panel shall or be glazed with wired safety
glass shall not be more than 0.0161 square metre and the total
area of one of more vision panels in any landing door shall be
not more than 0.0156 square metre. Only 2 elevators located in
the 4-6th floor of the vicinity incorporated a glass design but all
are completely safe and tested by Schindler corporation, all
glass elevators are glazed with wired safety glass and are less
than 0.0156 square metre.
4)Provision shall be made for the opening of all landing door by
means of an emergency key irrespective of the position of the
lift car. All 10 elevators have a sensor which detects emergency
so that all landing doors can be opened or closed manually.
4.4 Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL)
UBBL 153 Smoke detectors for lobbies
Lift not opening into a smoke lobby shall not use door reopening
device controlled by light beam or photo-detectors unless
incorporated with a force close feature which after thirty
seconds of any interruption of the beam causes the door to
close within a present time. All floor levels of the vicinity have
smoke and heat detectors within 4-5M from all 10 elevators and
are well equipped with a force close feature which after thirty
seconds of any interruption of the beam causes the door to
close within a present time.
UBBL 154 Emergency mode of operation in the event
of mains power failure
1) On failure of mains power of lifts shall return sequence
directly to the designated floor, commencing with the fire lifts,
without answering any car or landing calls and park with doors
open. The elevators in Sunway University are incorporated with a
system that during emergency or power failure, the elevators are
directed to the lobby automatically.
2) After all lifts are parked the lifts on emergency power shall
resume normal operation: Provided that where sufficient
emergency power is available for operation of all lifts, this mode
of operation need not apply. During emergency, after the
elevators of Sunway University reached the lobby for evacuation,
all elevators will resume normal operation using emergency
power generated from the control panel located at the 6th floor.
UBBL 155 Opening in lift shafts
1) The fire mode of operation shall be initiated by a signal from
the fire alarm panel which may be activated automatically by one
of the alarm devices in the building manually. In the fire handling
room where the fire alarm panel located, are all automatic and
can detect various heat signatures, during an unfortunate
events, all safety precaution units are put for manual usage for a
certain period of time then are trigger to automatic if no signal
being initiated by user.
2) If mains power is available all lifts shall return in sequence
directly to the designated. All elevators within the vicinity are
equipped with sensor and will return in sequence If mains power
is available.
3) The fire lifts shall then be available for use by the fire brigade
on operation of the firemen’s switch.
4) Under this mode of operation, the fire lifts shall only operate
in response to car calls but not to landing calls in a mode of
operation in accordance with by-law 154.
5) In the event of mains power failure, all lifts shall return in
sequence directly to the designated floor and operate under
emergency power as described under paragraph (2) to (4).
