Product Review

This guide outlines a process by which engineers can develop fire protection measures that provide levels of safety, deemed acceptable by stakeholders, without imposing unnecessary constraints on other aspects of building design and operation. The 11 chapters present techniques for identifying possible fire scenarios, developing trial designs, and evaluating the fire protection system. Originally published in 2000, the second edition reflects updated codes and the SFPE code official's guide to performance based design review.
