Abstract

Summary A fire incident is just one event in the life of a building. The procedures employed to address a fire exist in an environment with other procedures. Given these facts, and the complexity of evacuee response, simulation tools must have the ability to simulate the building under a number of conditions and the interaction of the procedures in place. This would reduce the number of assumptions required of the engineer and produce a more reliable understanding of procedural effectiveness.
