In public buildings, high priority is given to the protection of human life, especially when fire occurs. FOGTEC water mist has highly efficient cooling qualities and is therefore ideal for significantly reducing the spread of heat and fire and creating better conditions for people escaping.

FOGTEC systems thus provide optimal protection for these types of buildings. When using conventional sprinkler systems or low-pressure mist systems, the resulting water damage often exceeds the damage directly caused by the fire. Owing to the high physical efficiency of water mist, only 10 % of the water amount of a conventional system is required. In most cases no storing of water in reservoirs is required. The requirements of the storage of contaminated water are also significantly reduced.

FOGTEC systems, in contrast, use the water very efficiently that the risk of water damage is reduced to a minimum. Sensitive areas such as high rise or residential buildings, which have in the past been left unprotected, can be protected effectively with a FOGTEC system. Operators of hotels, hospitals and offices appreciate the additional benefit of less damage and shorter interruptions. Due to very small pipe diameters mean the system can be unobtrusively fitted in existing or historical buildings and are ideal where modern architectural techniques have been used. The central pumping unit requires considerably less space than in the case of sprinkler systems.
