Historic buildings and Monuments in the precious historical and cultural heritage plays an extremely important position, with the characteristics of the rare, special and historical value. Over the years in Taiwan, The fire management deficiencies, Cause a fire to become the biggest killer on the destruction of historic monuments. In this study, Explore by referencing and comparing the major fire prevention regulations for historic buildings active and passive fire protection technology around the world, We can find more Active fire protection equipment is widely used . And the use of the superior characteristics of the water mist system in Long-Shan Temple in Lu-Kang, Chang-Hua County as an Empirical research, try to exemplify the way, make appropriate fire use in historic architecture the best program to explore. In conclusion, comparison of the application of various innovative active and passive fire prevention system , and use the appropriate fire prevention technology to design and planning to improve the fire safety for historic monuments and buildings is an important issue. According to the empirical research of “Long-Shan Temple”, we can find water mist technology suitable for historic buildings fire protection in Taiwan.

Halon is being removed from all Esso facilities in accordance with Victorian Environment Protection Legislation for the control of ozone depleting substances. The phasing out of halon as a fire protection system required critical evaluation of available alternatives for protection of turbine machinery and switchgear rooms.Esso Australia Ltd., having evaluated and tested a range of available halon replacement systems, has selected a European manufactured water mist as the preferred alternative for fire protection of turbine machinery enclosures. The system selected required significant modifications from the vendor's standard configuration in order for it to be applied to the offshore environment, be accepted by turbine Original Equipment Manufacturers and achieve independent third party certification. Water mist cannot be applied in all situations to replace halon, with an inert gaseous agent required for the protection of switchgear rooms and for flare snuffing.This paper discusses the issues associated with the selection and installation of this new technology and the lessons learnt. It also discusses issues associated with the evaluation, testing, design and installation of over 80 systems on 14 offshore platforms and two onshore plants.

In only ten years, high pressure water mist fire protection has evolved from theory to becoming widely accepted as an alternative to traditional sprinkler systems, foam, CO2, halon, and other gases. It has proven itself as offering equal fire protection efficiency to these other systems and, in many conditions, exceeding them.
