Maintaining Design Integrity, Fire Safety with Performance-Based Egress Solutions
Manage episode 296263235 series 2872862
Egress challenges and fire safety codes are common issues that can have a big impact on architectural project design and success, whether new construction or renovation. The existing components of a building used for one purpose might simply not be up to code for another.
Telgian Engineering & Consulting's April Musser, PE, CFPS, and BWBR's Roger "Lars" Larson, AIA, discuss why egress and fire codes are so vital to a building's safety, as well as solutions that performance-based code approaches can offer to make designs more flexible and valuable. In the end, a successful performance-based egress solution will strike a balance between safety and fidelity within an architectural design.
