520			_aA special feature covering various aspects of fire safety and security. Looks at Government proposals to relax the building regulations relating to fire, reducing the emphasis on passive fire resistance which restricts the spread of fire through a building by perfecting the structure, in favour of active systems such as sprinklers and reports on a leading company who provides both passive and active systems. Examines the reasons behind the tremendous growth in the installation of security and warden call systems and BRE warns of the potential fire hazard of sandwich panels. Describes how fibre optics are being used in security on building sites and demonstrates how well sited lighting can help prevent crime on housing estates . Concludes with a look at Modern Homepack , an energy management system which includes fire and intruder alarms.
