- 3. Hypoxic-‐Air The Fire Safety Gap & Will Lindstrom
- 4. There is a gap in Todayʼs Fire Safety Measures.#
- 5. Today, most fire safety measures are designed to protect the building and the people.#
- 6. But what about the content of building? What# safety measures are protecting the mission critical assets?#
- 7. At ZeroBurn, we like to think of Mission Critical Assets as our clients Mona Lisa: Their Irreplaceable asset.#
- 8. What do most organizations have in place today to protect their Mona Lisa…Nothing.#
- 9. The reason why has to do with the economic change in the assets fire safety measures were designed to protect.#
- 10. Why arenʼt Fire Safety measures designed to protect the Mission Critical Assets contained within the buildings.#
- 11. One hundred years ago, buildings held people and basic merchandise. The most expensive assets were the buildings.#
- 12. Value of Building Value of Content 1914 One hundred years ago, the most valuable asset were the buildings not the content. The content could be replaced.#
- 13. Today, buildings contain mission critical assets and are significantly more valuable than the building.#
- 14. Value of Building Value of Content 2014 Today, the economic value has shifted. Today, the most valuable assets are contained within the building.#
- 15. 2014 Opera@onal Down@me Today, we have to expand the calculation of asset value to include the soft costs. The costs of operational downtime.#
- 16. When data centers go down, sales stop.#
- 17. When switching stations go down, telecom and commerce stops.#
- 18. Today, the loss of one building can impact world-wide operations.#
- 19. Operational downtime costs also include loss of customers, legal fees, and stock price implications.#
- 20. Today, one mistake is broadcast instantly for all to hear.#
- 21. Value of Building Value of Content Opera@onal Down@me 2014 Today, the mission critical assets are the most valuable assets and need to be protected.#
- 22. The growth in the economic value of mission critical assets requires us to rethink our fire safety measures.#
- 23. Protecting your Mona Lisa, your mission critical assets, creates a new set of challenges.#
- 24. How do you protect mission critical from fire damage?#
- 25. How do you protect mission critical from smoke damage?#
- 26. How do you protect mission critical from traditional fire suppression systems?#
- 27. When fires occur, there are consequences.#
- 28. The key to protecting mission critical assets is to prevent fires from occurring.#
- 29. Fire Prevention systems are an additional layer of protection. Like body armor, they provide the extra level of insurance you need to keep mission critical assets safe.# Fire Preven@on

- 31. No Fires. No Consequences. • Science • Industry Benefits • Case Study • Ques@ons Hypoxic-‐Air
- 32. Hypoxic-Air is naturally occurring air with lower levels of oxygen. When people refer to “thin-air”, they are referring to Hypoxic-Air.#
- 33. Low oxygen induced sleeping environments are used by Olympic athletes to simulate high-altitude training.#
- 34. Hypoxic-Air systems use the air we breathe and are non- depletive and ozone friendly.
- 35. nitrogen oxygen Oxygen Level# 21%# Oxygen Level# 14% - 15%# Hypoxic-Air systems lower the oxygen levels by replacing oxygen with naturally occurring nitrogen.#
- 36. 36 • Air Compressor# • Main Control Module# • Nitrogen Generator# • Aspirating Smoke Detector# • Oxygen Sensors# • Remote Monitoring System# Hypoxic-Air systems are able to leverage existing equipment with strong performance history and affordable pricing.#
- 37. 37 Safe Access Mode:# • OSHA requires a 19.5% oxygen level to enter# • The E.U. adjusted their standards to allow for occupancy# • Actively working with OSHA to adjust standard# OSHAʼs standards were set to protect miners and factory workers. The standard did not consider low oxygen clean- air environments.#
- 38. 38 Ideal Applica@ons Document Archives Historic Ar@facts Museums Data Centers Dry & Cold Storage Switch gear Manufacturing Telecom Intermi[ent or Unoccupied Facili@es Many mission critical assets are stored in automated and intermittent or unoccupied facilities, which are ideal for Hypoxic-Air fire prevention systems.#

Editor's Notes
- What is protecting the content
- We refer to this as the Mona Lisa.The question is what is really protecting your valuable assets or “your Mona Lisa”?
- The answer is nothing.. We are protecting the buiding, not the content
- Interesting question---what is really protecting the asset value?
- Over the past 100 years there has been a dramatic shift in the asset values related to fire protection. SlideWoolworth buiding, 700’, staff, merchandise. Building was the key value.
- Protecting the contents of the buidling was not a primary focus as the value of the assets were not significant enough to warrant its own fire protection system
- Data, storage archives, on line business.Economic shift
- Economic shift
- Nowglobilization---
- Downtime today is the real value
- What happens when we lose Power, electronic communication--------a dark city is devastating
- Legal fees, finger pointing, stock value
- What is the most important is to protect the assets.
- The value today is to protect the monalis
- Fire damage
- Smoke damage
- Suppression damage
- Give you an overview
- Thin air-------we have all talked about it or been in it. , when in the mountains ---------- low oxygen at high altitudes Vail about 8000 feet, similar to the 15% that we see in the Hypoxic air
- The benefit of Hypoxic air was acutallyDiscovered with high altitude training for biking. Could not light a match.Michael Phelps—olympic swimmingBed with tent—hyoxic -------increases the red blood cell count.
- Green for the environment.Avoids episodes that may be damaging to the environment.
- Filtering the oygen to create nitrogen-- Substituion
- The Science and Technology is proven.
- The current standards treat a room as a confined space, so we are educating people of the success in Europe and the benefit for life, safety, and asset protection
- Summarize:GreenExisting technology
- Now let’s discuss some specific industries and How will it can be used in each.
- expensive equipment, critical to business operation and communication.Early detection with Early aspirating smoke detection.
- Physical Storage
- Some newer automated storage may have 100’ ceilings which poses a major challenge for traditional methods.
- We want to provide a pictorial example.
- Quick review
- In prevention, low oxygen.
- Is like an insurance policy. It’s a extra layer of protection.Perfect product for existing installation.
