11 SFPE/ICC Guide Partnership SFPE/ICC Does Not Define Tall Building Not a substitute for a Building Code Identifies challenges & provides inside on how to address in PBD context
12 Challenges Emergency Egress Fire Resistance Smoke Control Suppression Facades Construction/Demo First Responder Issues
13 Other Challenges in Guide International Practices Hazard & Risk Analysis Integration of Building Systems System Reliability Detection & Alarm Commissioning
14 Why PBD? Evaluate designs of fire protection measures to achieve stated objectives Support alternatives to prescriptivebased code requirements Evaluate the building fire safety as a whole Prescriptive codes can stifle innovation

22 Evacuation Strategy Simultaneous Phased/Progressive Refuge Floors/Areas Sky Bridges Evacuation Elevators Combinations
23 Based-On Egress Goals Occupants Characteristics Building Characteristics Evacuation Scenarios Emergency Management Personnel
24 Simultaneous Evacuation Popular After 9/11 Discharge? Stairs Only? No preference to those in danger High demand on stairs Other Emergencies Assessment of Total Evacuation Systems for Tall Buildings (NFPA Foundation)
25 Phased/Progressive Evacuation Local Regulations Information Age Difficult Efficient Use of Stairs Evacuate Those in Danger First Not Good for All Emergencies
