Claim 23:
24. A method of responding to a thermal event in an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals comprising the steps of:
regulating the environment of the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system, the automated building operational system comprising one or more animal support systems capable of remote activation between a full on and a full off condition;
operationally integrating an automated thermal event controller with the automated building operational system;
monitoring the agricultural facility for an occurrence of a thermal event;
generating a thermal event signal upon detection of a thermal event;
activating an alert state in response to the thermal event signal at which the automated thermal event controller sends an alert signal to a system administrator; and
activating an alarm state in response to the thermal event signal at which the automated thermal event controller:
sends an alarm signal to a system administrator;
places the automated building operational system in a safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and
places the automated building operational system in a normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.
