This new LEED certified building of ours has a fire alarm system that only goes off on the affected floor, and one above, and one below.
But if you aren't on one of those floors you can sometimes hear the distant alarm. So I'm sitting here and the alarm is going off on other floors. I'm not supposed to evacuate, but WTF? Supposedly, if it's a bad fire, or a big emergency, then the whole building will get the alarm.
I've got a trust issue with this system.
