requires a design analysis to define project requirements and establish a project's unique standards compliance program.
For example, a project's qualification as either a low-rise or high-rise building will significantly affect the elements of a project's fire protection and life safety program.
? When a Marriott property is integrated with or
interconnected with another building, the building shall provide protection equal to the fire protection and life safety standards required for the Marriott property, as defined by Marriott’s Fire Protection Department on a case-by-case evaluation.
2. Systems: Provide the following functional systems in
compliance with the listed Performance Criteria: ? Sprinkler / Standpipe System ? Fire Alarm and Communications ? Mechanical Smoke Control
? Kitchen Hood and Duct Fire Suppression
