- Abstract
- This report describes the theoretical framework of the Expected Number of Deaths Model (ENDM). The ENDM estimates the number of occupants in a building expected to die as a result of a fire. The calculations are carried out for each compartment in the building. This model uses results output by both the Life Hazard Model and the Occupant Evacuation Model.
