Comparative Studies of Current and Future Methods in Fire Safety Analyses and Assessment.

Fire Safety regulations are generally of fairly rigid nature and are often perceived as restrictive to developments in building design and planning. The on-going transition from current prescriptive methods to more advanced performance-based methods in fire safety analysis and assessment of buildings and premises, and the conceivable benefits of the transition, are being studied in a series of M.Sc. thesis projects. Co-operation with Department of Fire Safety Engineering, LTH, Lund University, Sweden.
