Fire Research Division

Integrated Performance Assessment Group


The Integrated Performance Assessment Group produces quantitative tools useful to a broad base of stakeholders in the building and fire safety communities, including: architects and design engineers; manufacturers of building materials, products and furnishings; code developers, enforcers, and regulating authorities; and stakeholders exposed to direct risk such as building owners, occupants, the general public and the fire service. The group utilizes enhanced data and predictions to quantify fire events for fire hazard and risk assessment; for fire fighter operations, training and fire investigations; and performance evaluation of fire protection systems in buildings, transportation systems, and vehicles in response to fire. The group works with customers to build fire safety decision models making use of advancements in metrology, simulation, and materials; and manages the flow of research data and information to the fire safety community.
