Types of Fire Pumps. A fire pump is a specialized water pump that provides constant, high pressure for a water system used to extinguish fires. The fire pump intake can be connected to an underground water pipe or a static source, such as a water tank or reservoir. Fire pumps may be powered by an electric or diesel motor.
ASHRAE 90.1 (Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings) is a US standard that provides minimum requirements for energy efficient designs for buildings except for low-rise residential buildings. The original standard, ASHRAE 90, was published in 1975.
