摘要

就智慧型建築而言，火警偵測設備及其相關安全系統往往是相當關鍵且為臨界技術的部份，本文針對智慧型建築有關偵測設備與警報設備之近期發展作一回顧，新開發之技術與設計概念應用於智慧建築，諸如先進多功能感測器、電腦視窗系統、無線感測器、網路即時控制系統、以及整合建築設備系統將於本文中進一步探討，這些新的技術與設計概念將大大提升火災偵測能力，有效辨識火警與非火警的威脅，同時增加人命與財產的保障。然而，為能有效除去相關障礙，需要更多的努力去開發更多的新技術與概念。
Fire detection and its corresponding safety systems are crucial parts of an intelligent building. This paper reviews the current state of development of fire detection and alarm systems in the intelligent building. New technologies and concepts developed in intelligent buildings, such as advanced multi-function sensors, computer vision systems and wireless sensors, real-time control via the Internet, and integrated building service systems, have also been reviewed and discussed. These new technologies and concepts will improve the capability of fire detection systems to discriminate between fire and non-fire threats and will increase the time available for property and life protection. However, much effort is still needed to remove barriers to the further development of these new technologies.
