Method of and system for defending building projects from wildfire during and after construction

The method and system of phased automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense, using a trailer-mounted system with AI-triggered detection, effectively protects homes in WUI regions by forming fire-inhibiting coatings, addressing the inadequacies of conventional methods and supporting insurance viability.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional wildfire defense methods for homes and buildings in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) regions are inadequate, leading to significant property damage and insurance challenges, as they are either ineffective, costly, environmentally unsustainable, or pose safety risks, and there is a need for improved systems to protect structures during and after construction.

Method used

A method and system involving two phases of automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense systems: a first system installed during construction, providing proactive protection with environmentally-clean fire inhibitors, and a second permanently-installed system post-construction, using a trailer-mounted system with AI-triggered smoke and ember detection, to prevent fire ignition and spread.

Benefits of technology

Significantly reduces the risk of wildfire damage to wood-framed and mass-timber homes by forming thin, fire-inhibiting potassium salt crystalline coatings on combustible surfaces, ensuring protection during and after construction, thereby supporting sustainable insurance underwriting.

Abstract

A wildfire defense system trailer and method of installing an automated sprinkler¬ based wildfire defense system on a wood (home) building construction site before the starting of the construction phase of a home building project in a wildfire urban interface (WUI) region. The first commissioned automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense system will continue in operation all during the home building construction phase, and will only be decommissioned from operation, and removed from the premises, including the job-site wildfire defense system trailer being removed from the property, when construction of the wood building project is totally completed, and the wood building is ready for occupation. At the same time when the first system is decommissioned, a second permanently-installed automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense system will be completely installed within the new building construction, independent from the first system, and ready for commissioning to provide a new proactive measure of defense against a wildfire storm occurring after wood building construction has been completed, thereby protecting all wood and combustible surfaces on the home and surrounding property, and preventing fire ignition and flame spread until the wildfire storm passes through the WUI region. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to significantly reduce the risk of wood building construction projects occurring within a wildfire urban interface (WUI) region, and better support the underwriting of building construction and ownership insurance policies within such regions.
