Hotel’s Fire Protection Requirements Reach Beyond Code
Whether a local business affair or other personal ventures that attract people to Lincoln, Neb., the area’s new Staybridge Suites hotel has been running at full capacity since opening its doors in late summer 2012.
Whether it is Big Red football, a local business affair or other personal ventures that attract people to Lincoln, Neb., the area’s new Staybridge Suites hotel has been running at full capacity since opening its doors in late summer 2012.
To achieve an on-time opening, the hotel’s fire alarm system had to prove it was operable and code compliant. However, expanded carbon monoxide (CO) detection and a fire fighters’ telephone system were additions made to this hotel’s system that were not mandated by code, but required by Staybridge parent company, InterContinental Hotels Group. These additions brought both better security and some unexpected cost-savings.
