2 Update on SFPE Design Fire Scenarios Standard Charles Fleischmann University of Canterbury
3 Mission - To develop a standard on methods to create design fire scenarios for a performance-based fire protection design. Methods that are developed are to be defendable, transparent, and reproducible Apply the methods to develop recommended design fire scenarios
4 Who is on the committee? Name Employer Interest Represented Country Kees Both Promat Research Producer Netherlands Jason Butler Savannah River Nuclear Solutions Facilities Management USA Jason Floyd JENSON HUGHES Research and testing USA Craig Hofmeister The Fire Consultants Design Engineer USA M. C. Hui BCA Logic Pty Ltd Design Engineer Australia Martin Nillson AIG Insurance Sweden David Stroup US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enforcement official USA Piotr Tofilo The Main School of Fire Service Specialist Poland Colleen Wade BRANZ Research and testing New Zealand Shawn Wrightson Koffel Associates Design Engineer USA Jason Smart American Wood Council Producer USA Alternates John Stauder The Fire Consultants Alternate to Craig Hofmeister USA Don Turno Savannah River Nuclear Solutions Alternate to Jason Butler USA
5 Where is the committee heading? Building-Occupant systems 1 Triplet Objective Criteria Scenario Characterising the hazards based on the occupancy using existing fire statistics Develop of short list of scenarios (general common to multiple buildings & occupancy specific) Quantify the design fires 1 Jutras, I., Meacham, B., Tubbs, B. and Hurley, M., A Proposed Approach for Developing and Presenting Fire Scenarios, Design Fires and Criteria for Regulation and Design, 10 th PBD conference, Brisbane, Australia
6 Short List of Scenarios ( ) NFPA Data non-residential-annually ~100,000 fire ~70 civilian deaths ~1500 civilian injuries ~$2.6 billion direct property loss
7 NFPA Data - Occupancies Mercantile/Stores Education/Schools Offices Industrial Hotels/Motels Warehouses Restaurants & Bars Religious & funeral Health Care Nursing homes Hospitals and hospices Mental Health Clinics and doctors office
8 Criteria Used to Develop List of Potential Scenarios Analysis based on area of origin data >5% of all fires in this class of building, or >2 fatalities/year and disproportionate number of fatalities, or >20 injuries/year and disproportionate number of injuries, or >$5x10 6 /year and disproportionate damage estimate All fires, confined fires, non-confined fires
9
10 Proportionality Factor Proportionality Factor = #of ( fatalities) # fires in the space all ( fatalities) all fires Where the value in () is fatalities, injuries, damage in the space 2
11 Categories of Structure Fire All fires Confined fires - confined cooking fires, confined chimney or flue fires, confined trash fires, confined fuel burner or boiler fires, confined commercial compactor fires, and confined incinerator fires Non-confined fires
12 Exemplar NFPA Data Structure Fires in Store and Mercantile, by Area of Origin Annual Averages Proportionality Factor Direct Property Damage (in Fatalities /# fires Injuries /# fires Damage /# fires Area of Origin Fires Civilian Fatalities Civilian Injuries Millions) Kitchen or cooking area 2, % 0 0.0% % $28 4.7% Non-confined % 0 0.0% % $27 4.5% Confined % % $1 25.0% Laundry room or area % 0 0.0% % $11 1.8% Non-confined % 0 0.0% % $9 1.5% Confined % % $2 50.0% Unclassified outside area % 0 0.0% 2 0.7% $8 1.3% Non-confined % 0 0.0% 2 0.7% $8 1.3% Confined % % $0 0.0% Sales of showroom area % % % $ % Non-confined % % % $ % Confined % % $0 0.0% Unclassified equipment or % 0 0.0% % $22 3.7% Non-confined % 0 0.0% % $22 3.7% Confined % % $0 0.0% Trash or rubbish chute, area or % 0 0.0% 2 0.7% $1 0.2% Non-confined % 0 0.0% 1 0.4% $1 0.2% Confined % % $0 0.0%

16 Limitations (Scenarios) Data Outside the USA? Prescriptive Codes are preventing potential scenario that does not show up in statistics Ensure flexibility May need to subgroup scenarios (i.e. bulk retail, storage) Process hazards difficult to define Are damage assessments adequate?
