• We need to establish a clear methodology to test the baseline case of ESS hazards (such as explosions, for example) The intent would be to truly characterize the hazard.
• Then subsequent tests could use that same methodology but add in a mitigation factor. You would then have the baseline data to evaluate the impact of the mitigating factor.
• You could then use the same test methodology to evaluate the impact of water mist (or other systems) on the explosion hazard. This approach could add credibility to the results.]]> 2022-11-03 01:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vhutchison/ESRC2022/wish/2367574460 Design considerations for various ESS installation types/applications (e.g., utility, commercial, residential, military - and cabinets, containers, dedicated use building, outside, inside, etc.) vhutchison https://padlet.com/vhutchison/ESRC2022/wish/2367592924 2022-11-03 01:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vhutchison/ESRC2022/wish/2367592924 In conjunction with the fire service, define and summarize initial response tactics and decommissioning practices relative to broad categories of ESS deployments, e.g., containers, outdoor enclosures, dedicated buildings... vhutchison https://padlet.com/vhutchison/ESRC2022/wish/2367607094 Establish technical basis for the development of comprehensive guidance for post-event evaluation and remediation.

Gas detection isn’t called for in the IFC at present. Smoke detection and automatic fire detection systems are. So, it is very possible that an AHJ will accept the smoke detector from a code perspective, but the smoke detectors respond much later than CO, H2, etc. Should be able to demonstrate that the other safety systems are still able to function appropriately and not increase the risk. 
•Limited testing of gas detection at elevated vent gas release rates. How accurate are the sensors when subject to large quantities of gas or high temperatures?
