-
Assess Building Water Demand:
- Use hydraulic calculations based on sprinkler and hose demands.
-
Reference NFPA Guidelines:
- Follow NFPA 13, 14, and 20 to determine flow rate and pressure.
-
Use Formula-Based Calculations:
- For example: (where is flow rate, is sprinkler coefficient, and is pressure).
-
Consider Safety Margins:
- Add a buffer to ensure the pump meets peak demand.
