1. A method of designing a fire suppression system, the method comprising:
determining nozzle placement for nozzles of a fire suppression system within a location;
determining piping placement for pipes of the fire suppression system within the location;
determining whether the nozzle placement or piping placement violate a constraint; and
generating a map displaying the nozzle placement and the piping placement on a computing device;
activating an alert when at least one of the nozzle placement and the piping placement violate a constraint;
wherein determining nozzle placement for nozzles of a fire suppression system within a location further comprises:
determining a geometry of a location in response to a floor plan;
determining a type of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of articles in the location and hazards in the location;
determining an amount of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of the articles in the location, hazards in the location, the geometry of the location, average temperature of the location, and average pressure of the location; and
determining a number of nozzles, a type of each of the nozzles, a location of each of the nozzles within the location in response to the amount of fire suppression agent required.
