Fire Risk Index Method: Multistorey Apartment Buildings FRIM-MAB Version 1.2.

摘要

A new Index method for fire risks in multi-storey apartment buildings has been developed. The Index method is based on a hierarchy structure for the fire safety in a building. The highest level is the policy, then the objectives, at next level the strategies and finally several parameters. The parameters are subdivided into quantitative sub parameters, organized in decision tables and given a grade. When the structure is fixed, the objectives, strategies and parameters are given weights. The Index method was developed together with a Nordic project group, using a so-called Delphi panel for fine-tuning the method and defining the weights. The Delphi panel was made up of 20 Nordic experts who work with fire safety in various areas (consultancy, fire brigade, fire testing, fire research and insurance). The grades and weights are multiplied giving a relative value for each parameter. The sum of these weighted grades results in a single index value for the whole building which can be used to compare with index values for other buildings or different fire safety measures. Basic requirements in the building law must of course be fulfilled.
