Reducing the False Alarm Rate—How Smoke Alarms Can Pass the Hamburger Nuisance Alarm Test

PublishTime：2021-12-23

●Today’s buildings have numerous different sensors to make daily living easier and to offer protection. Besides environmental sensors and smart home applications such as electricity and heating regulation, safety relevant sensors assume an important role. Smoke alarms are included among them. Smoke alarms are essential and prescribed by law, but many smoke alarms on the market are not adequate for use in kitchens or bathrooms due to an increased risk of false alarms from cooking vapor or steam. False alarms should not be underestimated because they tempt users to turn off the smoke alarms and they can incur high costs due to unnecessary fire department deployments.
●However, the lack of smoke alarms in bathrooms and kitchens is a serious problem because the potential for fire is high, especially in kitchens. This poses a greater risk in modern apartments because the kitchen is often integrated into the living room. Fires spread rapidly in modern environments with large amounts of synthetic building materials, so a more finely meshed network of smoke alarms is important for accurate fire detection.
