TAILIEUCHUNG - HOME FIRES INVOLVING HEATING EQUIPMENT

One advantage of conducting after-hours building walk-throughs to collect data on office equipment power status is that more buildings can be surveyed with a given amount of time and money. On the other hand, the data collected represents a snapshot in time, and does not capture variations in user behavior over time, which would require automated long-term time series metering of equipment power state and power levels. This is our most robust sample of buildings to date for collecting data on the after hours power status of office equipment. It includes data on 1,683 computers (including desktops,. | Home Fires Involving Heating equipment John R.

Hall Jr. September 2010 National Fire Protection Association Fire Analysis and Research Division Abstract In 2008 heating equipment was involved in an estimated 66 100 reported home structure fires 480 civilian deaths 1 660 civilian injuries and billion in direct property damage. The numbers of fires deaths and injuries were all lower than in 2007 and fit into a largely level trend over the past few years coming after a sharp decline from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. In 2004-2008 most home heating fire deaths 82 and injuries 64 and half 51 of associated direct property damage involved stationary or portable space heaters. Space heating poses a much higher risk of fire death injury and loss per million users than central heating.
