Abstract

Fire safety is a primary concern in educational institutions, where the protection of human lives, material goods and the continuity of academic activities are of vital importance, hence the importance of formulating proposals in this regard. The present study aims to design a fire protection system in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 72-70) for the Faculty of Technical Education for Development of the Catholic University Santiago de Guayaquil, based on the implementation of an inductive methodology, through the application of both descriptive and exploratory techniques to determine the current situation of the problem. As a result of this degree work, a complete proposal is obtained with the description of the constituent elements of the system as well as its budget. The current state of the fire protection systems at the Faculty of Technical Education for Development presents deficiencies due to their obsolescence, the electrical and electronic components were analyzed for their respective inclusion in the improvement proposal. For these reasons, a comprehensive fire protection system was proposed, along with evacuation protocols, based on NFPA 72 and NFPA 70 Standards.
