5 Performance Based Design What is Our Goal? The Strobe Calculator intends to Satisfy provisions of the NFPA 72 and the UL 1971 for building room configurations not listed on the NFPA 72, 2010* Tables (a) and (b) *NFPA recently released the NFPA 72, 2013 Edition, but the 2010 edition still referenced in the latest editions of model building codes such as the IBC 5
6 Performance Based Design Room Configurations NFPA 72, 2010 Tables (a) and (b) as Prescriptive Code Points to UL 1971 as the PBD guideline Rule of Thumb: Designs shall provide a minimum of lumens/ft 2 ( lumens/m 2 ) of illumination at any point 6
