De la contraportada

Understanding a building's potential fire performance is necessary to compare a performance based design with an equivalent prescriptive design. Performance understanding is also necessary in the development of effective risk management solutions to unique problems.

This book describes a way to understand building fire performance and risk characterizations using an analytical framework that guides the thought process combined with evaluations of critical events. A systems framework tracks functional behavior of the fire and associated fire defenses using accepted procedures from a variety of management and risk disciplines. These procedures have been under development for over thirty years and tested with professionals from every part of the fire safety community.

The systems approach described in this book will enable an individual to move back and forth between the specific behavior of individual components and the holistic performance of the building. Examples of routine applications include:

  • Technical decision making. (Are the fire defenses appropriate for my objectives, and how can I improve their performance quality?)
    • Prescriptive code equivalency documentation.
    • Performance-based design approval.
    • Fire reconstruction analysis.
  • Resource management. (How can I do better with what I now have?)
    • Fire risk management and resource allocation.
    • Emergency planning.
    • Fire ground operations planning.
