Dear Facilities Managers, Owners and Occupants:
Leonardo Academy, a charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainability, is preparing an assessment of the environmental impacts of fire suppression industry and how these impacts can be reduced.

To prepare this assessment we need more data on the fire suppression systems that are currently in use in buildings. Leonardo Academy is carrying out a field research project to obtain the data. You can help us gather the information we need by participating in our survey of the fire suppression systems being used in your buildings.

Go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZDVSBZD to fill out a high-level, five-minute survey. The survey gathers information and provides several options for further participation in the project.

This project has the aim of raising awareness and understanding of the contribution of fire suppression agents to building emissions footprints and environmental risks for building occupants and owners, as well as how these impacts and risks can be reduced. The information collected by this survey will be used to develop strategies for reducing the environmental impacts and risks of fire suppressions systems while maintaining or improving the fire protection performance of these systems. The strategies will be designed to meet the information and decision- making needs of existing building occupants and owners as well as those of architects, owners and future occupants of new buildings being constructed. Leonardo Academy will make the project results available to building occupants, owners, managers, architects and the building industry. 

All information gathered in the Leonardo Academy survey will be confidential. The data gathered will only be presented publically in an aggregated form that does not reveal anything about the individual buildings or building owners.  

Please contact Barbara McCabe, Sustainability Program Manager at Leonardo Academy  if you have any questions:  608-280-0255 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
