| Abstract | To support the introduction of performance-based building regulations in Canada in the 2003, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is developing a computer fire risk-cost assessment model that can be used to assess both the expected risk to life to the occupants and the expected costs of fire protection and fire losses in a building. The computer model that is being developed at NRC is called FiRECAM<TM> (Fire Risk Evaluation and Cost Assessment Model). This paper gives a brief description of the probabilisitc and deterministic modelling concepts that are used in FiRECAM<TM> . In addition, the paper shows the results of its recent application to a six-storey Canadian federal government office building where the existing fire protection systems were being re-evaluated to see how they could be upgraded in a cost-effective manner to meet the current building code requirements. |
