DISCUSSION AND RESPONSES 2 Security Needs To Be Addressed In the Architectural Design in a Newly Constructed Facility: Classes of Fires and Fire Extinguishers Question A: Security Needs To Be Addressed In the Architectural Design in a Newly Constructed Facility Security specialists advise that security planning starts within the programmatic phases of construction. The later security is handled, the more likely it is to result in large modification orders and frustration with the architectural ideas. However, this is preferable to the worst-case scenario: When a vulnerability isn't addressed, it leads to an incident that might result in insurance concerns, lawsuits, or even bankruptcy for a company (Schäuffele, 2016). Therefore, it is crucial to observe various security needs in architectural design. First, the building design requirements include installing countermeasures to discourage, identify, slow, and respond to incidents by human aggressors. It also includes mitigation methods to restrict dangers, prevent devastating damage, and ensure resiliency in the case of an attack (Troiani, 2016). Second, to apply fundamental security controls, technological security requirements are required. Physical access restrictions, environmental monitoring, identity identification, access authorization verification, and affiliation assessment are all examples of these controls. A complete security risk management program must include these procedures. Finally, operational responses security needs is a risk management technique that encourages managers to examine operations through the eyes of an adversary to keep sensitive information out of the wrong hands. It could involve things like task automation to eliminate any need for human involvement. When security designers fail to collaborate with architects, design faults and low-quality designs occur when the design fails to match the requirements. As a result, there are capacity constraints and inefficiencies that the sponsor either rejects or obstructs project progress (Troiani, 2016). Question B: Classes of Fires and Fire Extinguishers

DISCUSSION AND RESPONSES 3 Fires are categorized into five categories based on the fuel source: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class K. Every sort of fire has its own set of flammable elements and necessitates a unique response. Ordinary combustibles are classified as Class A fires. The fuel source for these types of fires is generally combustible material. Class A fires are commonly caused by wood, textiles, paper, rubbish, and plastics. Water or mono ammonium phosphate are typically used to extinguish Class A fires. A Class B fire is defined as fueled by combustible liquids or gases, like petroleum-based paints and oils, gasoline, or kerosene. Chemical reactions that have comparable effects and suffocating these types of fires to eliminate oxygen are frequent solutions (Kodur et al., 2019). A Class C fire is characterized as fueled by electrical components and electrified equipment. Motors, appliances, and electronic transformers are frequently used to start electrical fires. Turn off the electricity and extinguish the flames with non-conductive chemicals. A Class D fire burns flammable metal as its source of fuel. Titanium, magnesium, aluminum, and potassium are examples of combustible metals. A dry powder agent is used to put out a class D fire, which absorbs the heat required for the fire to burn while simultaneously smothering it. A cooking fire that involves the burning of liquids used in food preparation is classified as a Class K fire. Class K fires use various fuel sources, including greases, cooking oils, vegetable fat, and animal fat. For putting out these kinds of fires, wet chemical fire extinguishers have become popular. Things might get a lot worse if a person uses the wrong type of fire extinguisher. Massive flashes and massive flames may erupt, causing burns or electrocution. Electricity may run through the conductive water or foam in this circumstance, killing a person (Kodur et al., 2019). Response One

DISCUSSION AND RESPONSES 4 Awesome post! In addition to your discussion, and building security system must have system controls. Segregating smoke-filled spaces and protect egress paths and refuge areas, controls range from global enable or disable functions to the outside air (ventilation) and pressurized controls interlocked with fire protection systems. Response Two Nice post! In addition to your post, it is critical to get the correct type of fire extinguisher for the demands of a business when purchasing fire extinguishers. Fires are classified in various ways, the most important of which is the fuel supply, as you have discovered. Every fire extinguisher is assigned a rating based on the types of fires it can suppress. Understanding the meaning of each fire class can help you determine which fires pose a risk to your company's safety. Once a person is aware of the types of fires that may occur in the workplace, they can purchase the appropriate extinguisher to defend against them. Response Three Awesome post! In addition to your post, I believe that new buildings can be designed for physical security, including mitigating the impact of airborne risks efficiently and cost- effectively than renovations to existing structures. The atter is particularly if security requirements are identified early in the pre-design and design phases and risk and vulnerability assessment. The functional program, budget, and design brief include physical security requirements, including mitigation of any biological or chemical threat agents discharged. Overall, the latter fulfills all of the security requirements. References Kodur, V., Kumar, P., & Rafi, M. M. (2019).
