16. Building Information Exchange for Fire Responders Workshop: Proceedings
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1643
Published: 3/26/2010
Authors: Jason D Averill, David G Holmberg, Alan B. Vinh, William D. Davis
Abstract: Presently, there is no integrated solution for delivering building data into the hands of emergency responders. Technically, there are many challenges to collect, format, process, integrate and transport building data out of the building. Beyond this ...

19. Building Occupant Safety Research 2008
Series: Special Publication (NIST SP)
Report Number: 1091
Published: 6/12/2009
Authors: Richard D Peacock, Jason D Averill, Erica D Kuligowski, Richard W. Bukowski

20. Stairwell Evacuation from Buildings: What We Know We Don't Know
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1624
Published: 6/12/2009
Authors: Richard D Peacock, Jason D Averill, Erica D Kuligowski
Abstract: Occupant descent down stairwells during building evacuations is typically described by measureable engineering variables such as stairwell geometry, speed, density, and pre-evacuation delay. In turn, predictive models of building evacuation use the ...
