- Abstract
- Stay at the forefront of fire and life safety with the 2nd edition of the SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance-Based Fire Protection. NFPA and the SFPE, the industry's leading authorities, have teamed up to create the 2nd edition of the respected SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance-Based Fire Protection . Developed in recognition of the increased acceptance of performance-based design, and including recent experience and advancements in computer modeling and engineering techniques, this edition is a vital tool for engineers, architects, building code officials, and AHJs. Both a starting point and a comprehensive reference, the Guide provides a flexible process for performance-based design and the assessment of building fire safety, within both prescriptive and performance-based code systems. Use it to help you: Determine and document the achievement of fire safety goals for a particular project over the life of a building; Identify and work within the latest accepted parameters that should be considered in performance-based analysis or design; Develop fire protection measures that ensure acceptable levels of safety, without unnecessary constraints on other aspects of building design or operation. The Guide includes detailed coverage on: Defining project scope; Identifying goals; Defining stakeholder and design objectives; Developing performance criteria; Developing design fire scenarios; Developing and evaluating trial designs. Get equipped for the new era in performance-based codes. Order now. (Softbound, Approx., 224 pp., 2007)
