Use cases
FIREDET is a lookup entity referenced by BUILDING (as fireDetectionSystem) and FLOOR/ROOM (as fireDetectionType) to classify the type of fire detection system installed. Values include VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus), ionisation smoke detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, heat detectors, aspirating systems, and multi-sensor detectors. Detection type is critical for data centre compliance (e.g. VESDA is required for many Tier III+ facilities). Separate from FIRESUP (suppression) since detection and suppression are independent systems. Simple name and description fields with flat definition structure and grid view.
