Evaluating The Impact of Emerging Fire Safety Technologies in High-Rise Residential Buildings in Maharashtra
Abstract
The rapid urbanization in Maharashtra, especially in Pune, has led to the construction of high-rise residential buildings, that pose distinctive fire safety challenges. This research explores the impact of emerging fire safety technologies such as LOT-based smoke detectors, AI-powered surveillance and smart sprinklers for fire risk management in high-rise residential structures. With a mixed-method case study approach, the research examines five high-rise residential buildings from after 2015, merging audit data with stakeholder interviews. Findings show that use of modern technologies significantly performed better in in key metrics such as faster emergency response time, compliance scores, and lower system failure rates. Buildings equipped with integrated technologies outperformed those relying on conventional methods, highlighting clear advantages of life saving potential of tech-enabled safety solutions. However, the study also identifies critical barriers to implementation, including weak enforcement of regulations, inadequate technical training, and cost restrictions. This research advocates for a comprehensive system where concerns about policies cut through the advancements in policy execution technology tailored toward improving urban living conditions in rapidly growing cities in India.
