Description

This guide provides a process by which engineers can develop fire protection measures that provide levels of safety, deemed acceptable by the stakeholders, without imposing unnecessary constraints on other aspects of building design and operation.

This guide provides guidance that can be used by both qualified engineers and authorities having jurisdiction as a means to determine and document that specific fire safety goals are achieved for specific fire hazards for a particular project.

This guide identifies parameters that should be considered in performance-based analysis or design.
