Abstract

Fire incidents negatively affect the function and sustainability of buildings. This study aimed to determine the most critical issues and challenges associated with fire protection for building sustainability in Jakarta. Fifty high-rise buildings were observed and analyzed. Data were processed using the AHP, OMAX, and traffic light system methods. The results indicate that, in terms of building fire protection systems, only 42% of the total number of high-rise buildings in Jakarta are reliable, while 40% are less reliable and 18% are not reliable. The main issues are unavailability of access for fire officers and poor roads. The inconsistencies are also related to the poor performance of the active and passive protection system, which in most cases fails to function in accordance with fire safety standards. The results of this study are useful for increasing the awareness and concern of interested parties in building sustainability.
