Question: Where is a smoke detector required to be installed within a residential suite according to NBCC?
Answer options:
- In every closet
- In the kitchen only ✅ Between each sleeping area and the remainder of the suite
- Only in the bathroom
Correct answer: Between each sleeping area and the remainder of the suite
Explanation: In residential suites, NBCC 3.2.4.21 requires a smoke alarm or detector that, when triggered, sounds an alarm within the suite (85 dBA) and may or may not signal the building's main system depending on design. However, the manual station is specifically for the fire alarm system. Smoke detectors in suites must technically be 'within' the suite.
