Fire Pump Generator Back-Up
Fire Pump Generator Back-Up
(OP)
I am a trying to 'ballpark' a backup generator for a 19 story high rise. Eight stories will be parking deck the rest will be office and retail space, approximately 30,000 ft2 per floor. Can anyone give me a ballpark size for the fire pump so I can finish guesstimating the generator sizing?

Subtract what is available from the city at your demand. Leave 10 psi or so for margin and there you have it: a rough estimate of your pump pressure and flow.
Good Luck!!!!
