Abstract

Taking a cultural center as the research object, this paper proposes an innovative scheme balancing cultural relic protection and modern fire safety to meet the renovation needs of fire water supply systems for historic buildings. By in-depth analysis of the building’s structural characteristics and fire hazards, adaptive measures such as automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing technology and jet-type automatic tracking fire extinguishing devices are adopted, effectively realizing the unification of fire risk prevention and control and historic style protection. This provides a reference technical paradigm for the fire renovation of similar existing venues.
