Enhancing Knowledge through Research
FM Global’s engineering recommendations, property loss prevention data sheets and product testing standards developed by FM Approvals are based on state-of-the-art scientific research conducted by our scientists and loss prevention researchers.FM Global now is making its scientific research findings publicly available for download via a select number of technical research reports to continually help enhance the technical and risk management communities' awareness and knowledge of property-related risks and loss prevention solutions.
Research Technical Reports
» The Influence of Risk Factors on Sustainable Development
Methodology and results contained in this report illustrate that life-cycle emissions associated with fire and natural hazards can be reduced to minimal levels through the use of automatic fire sprinkler systems and cost-effective, robust design and construction practices.
» Environmental Impact of Automatic Fire Sprinklers
Methodology and results contained in this report show that in all occupancies, from residential dwellings, to office buildings, to high hazard facilities, the lack of proper risk management and effective fire protection, e.g., automatic fire sprinklers, statistically increases carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the occupancy.
