Performance-Based Fire Engineering Brochure
August 18, 2020
Abstract
With performance-based fire engineering (PBFE), we can answer questions that matter to building owners and operators: Can everyone get out the building safely? Is the structure safe to re-occupy after a fire? Can we reduce or eliminate fireproofing where its impact is minimal? And what are the trade-offs if we use a different design to achieve the same fire-protection goal?
