Basically, Dry Fire Sprinkler systems are designed for areas that need to be sprinklered, but cannot have water-filled pipes (like commercial freezers, parking garages, etc), which isn't a problem by itself. Most have compressed air that pressurizes these vulnerable sections and the pressurized water is kept in a safe (i.e. protected / warm) area separated by a Dry Pipe Valve. The continuous injection of compressed air creates condensation inside the pipes, which isn't a problem by itself.

...but don't continue to take our word for it, hear from an expert: "Smart buildings can also automate functions such as room booking, hot desking, employee location, and office mapping, all of which can be personalized to occupants. “[H]aving my environment be smart about what I want and anticipate my needs [is important],” D’Angelo says. “I can set preferences and go from one location to another, and it will remember my preferences.

"The secret to my success is… rejection. Specifically, my willingness to endure it. Everybody knows failure, everyone will experience tragedy. You will get fired, make bad investments, and fall in love with someone who doesn’t love you back. Worst of all, someone you love, and who loves you a great deal, will get sick and die. A core competence of successful people is the ability to mourn, and move on." - Scott Galloway https://www.profgalloway.com/high-school-cnn/ ...
