1. A method of determining placement of nozzles within a fire suppression system, the method comprising:
determining a geometry of a room in response to a floor plan;
determining a type of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of articles in the room and hazards in the room;
determining an amount of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of the articles in the room, hazards in the room, the geometry of the room, average temperature in the room, and average pressure within the room; and
determining a number of nozzles, a type of each of the nozzles, a location of each of the nozzles within the room in response to at least the amount of fire suppression agent required;
activating an alert when at least one of the number of nozzles, the type of each of the nozzles, the location of each of the nozzles within the room violates a nozzle constraint.
