Welcome
The Engineered Fire Safety Group develops and applies measurement science for cost-effective fire protection and risk-informed life safety decisions for buildings and wildland-urban interface communities. The group also develops advanced, validated models with quantified accuracy and integrates the knowledge, tools, and models to assess building performance with respect to
Post-Doc Program Outstanding applicants are sought for a number of postdoctoral fellowships available through the National Research Council Program. Group members act as research advisors for Post-Doctoral Fellows in a variety of project areas. Programs/Projects
Fire Risk Reduction in Buildings Program—The objective of the Fire Risk Reduction in Buildings Program is to develop and deploy advances in measurement science to increase the safety of building occupants and the performance of structures … Fire Modeling for Performance-Based Design Project—Two NIST models, CFAST (Consolidated Fire And Smoke Transport) and FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator), are the most widely used models worldwide for evaluation of the performance of fire protection … Safety of Building Occupants Projects—NIST will develop best practices, guidance, and pre-standards for the design and performance prediction of building and community emergency systems through advances in understanding human behavior, … Advanced Fire Detection Project—By 2014, this project will develop the technology to significantly reduce residential fire deaths through demonstration of economical advanced detection systems and the proposal of enabling codes … Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Transport Project—The capabilities of the NIST National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) will be extended to provide a test bed for performance evaluation of instruments and test methods used for the monitoring of … |
