characteristic description includes the number, age, facility familiarity, gender,
occupant loading, and potential for self-preservation of a facility's occupants.
Accurately identify any necessary occupant response and interaction needed to
provide hazard mitigation or securing of specific process or operational
equipment. The occupant load is the maximum number of people realistically
expected to occupy an area, as agreed upon by the stakeholders, but not less
than the prescriptive occupant load densities of NFPA 101.
D-3.1.3
Goals. Detail and document the goals of life safety, property
protection, continuity of operations, and the limitation of the environmental impact
of the fire, as defined by NFPA 101, and as additionally defined by the
stakeholders. Adequately address the allied fire safety goals of historic
preservation and environmental protection from fire protection measures.
Identify each goal - realistically, quantifiably, and remaining constant throughout
the design process. Address each goal by each proposed trial design,
regardless of the goal's individual importance.
D-3.1.4
Objectives and Acceptable Levels of Risk. Clearly identify
stakeholder and design objectives associated with each of the required and user-
defined goals.
D-3.1.4.1
Stakeholder objectives are the specific project objectives based
upon agreed fire safety goals and should be stated in terms of objectives,
functional statements, or performance objectives. Stakeholders' objectives may
be defined in terms of acceptable or sustainable loss or in terms of an acceptable
level of risk. Where a design requires the determination of an acceptable level of
risk, the authority having jurisdiction must ensure that the appropriate
stakeholders make the determination. The level of risk may affect an entire
base/community/command; therefore it is essential to ensure the person
determining the level of risk is authorized to do so.
D-3.1.4.2
Design objectives are developed by the design engineer based on
the stakeholder objectives, and is stated in engineering terms. Use design
objectives as the basis for the development of performance criteria, against
which the predicted performance of a trial design will be evaluated.
D-3.1.5
Performance Criteria. Develop quantitative performance criteria
to represent the intent of each design objective and retained prescriptive
requirement. Completely describe and document these criteria. The
performance criteria reflect the event consequences that need to be avoided to
fulfill the design objectives, and include realistic values that are capable of being
evaluated or measured using existing engineering tools and methods.
D-3.1.5.1
The performance criteria must be a combination of the life safety
and property protection criterion, along with criteria developed from stakeholder
objectives.
