- renovated performance of evacuation safety of converted buildings; calculation results of improved plans; "marginal time" is calculated for former plans as office occupancy; "marginal time" is calculated for present plans as converted occupancy; comparative studies are made by checking "the marginal time", difference between converted plans and former plans; problems or weak points of converted plans are pointed out from a viewpoint of performance based evacuation safety; secondly improved plans are proposed with "the marginal time"; comparative studies are made by checking "the marginal time", difference between improved plans and converted plans
