3 Executive Overview Introduction We wish to thank each of you that have already registered to attend the FAIL-SAFE Summit in Denver on October 29 th, and encourage those who have not done so to click here to register and join us. A research plan for the first two years of the Project FAIL-SAFE plan is provided below, along with the total costs for those first two years. It is our hope that you will use the provided information to reserve a spot in your upcoming 2016 budget to support this important research project. We heard you clearly when we met in June, and have worked diligently since then to develop a plan that will provide specific gateway deliverables that we trust will be of value to you and your organization. Ultimately, the deliverables will be available to inform and direct discussions in preparation for the next ICC code cycle in January of You will notice the absence of immediate plans to perform full-scale fire performance testing which was discussed previously. It has become abundantly clear that there is significant work to be completed prior to moving in that direction. Instead, we have developed a research plan to offer more definitive and cost effective answers that are achievable in two years. Funding Though this plan comes with a considerably more cost effective initial financial outlay than was proposed in June in Chicago, the numerous gateway deliverables and subsequent potential return on investment will still require your participation. The completion of all phases of the study through the end of calendar year 2017 will come with a price tag of nearly $880,000. Using an estimate of fully participating partners who will have input into the project direction, the NASFM Foundation urges individual companies to earmark between $30,000 and $45,000 per year for each of the next two years. Similarly, estimating 5-9 fully participating associations who may choose to pool their member s contributions and provide a combined representation on project direction for their members, should earmark between $100,000 and $180,000 per year for each of the next two years. Of course, since there is no way of knowing ahead of time how many project sponsors will commit to moving FAIL-SAFE forward, please remember these are only estimates for sponsors to use in planning as we collectively gather the needed funding and will be subject to modification as commitments are made. Should your organization choose not to contribute at these levels, you will still be able to fill an important role within the project. Though you will not have direct input into project direction or access at an early date to reports and information, your contributions will help to move the goals forward in a meaningful and important manner. We are certain the deliverables, as outlined below, will become useful tools for your use moving forward, providing each of you solid value and return for your investment. Research Snapshot To that end, the NASFM Foundation has already commissioned an exhaustive analysis of tradeoffs in the IBC based on both occupancy and building type to provide focus for subsequent phases of the project. This report will be completed by the end of Utilizing the results of the analysis for clarity, an extensive literature review and report will be completed by mid-year 3

4 2016 under the direction of one of the leading academic experts in the field of fire protection engineering. Again, building on the direction gleaned from the code analysis and literature review, computer modeling will be undertaken by the same academic expert in an effort to test the theories resulting from in the previous work. The literature review and subsequent modeling will be initiated in January of 2016, with completed reports provided by mid-year and the end of the calendar year 2016, respectively. Simultaneously, we will undertake and complete a fourth major deliverable, the NASFM Foundation Safety Layering Matrix. The Matrix will be built, tested, validated and the data fields will be populated with statistically relevant data over the course of 2016 and The data analysis will be capable of providing project sponsors with a much clearer picture of the existing building stock as it relates to fire protection feature risk and hazard analysis. The analysis of the data will be completed and released by October of 2017 under the direction of leading academic experts in the field of etymological data design and analysis. The Matrix will provide a valuable ongoing means of assessing both proposed and adopted changes to the model codes. As you may recall, the NASFM Matrix is a computer aided decision-making tool utilizing fire risk indexes, such as those in the International Existing Building Code Section The Matrix provides code enforcement officials with an efficient and cost-effective means to facilitate the assessment of code compliance and make transparent the effect of alternative fire safety strategies. Functioning similarly to a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), it is designed to minimize the risk of a process by ensuring that adequate safeguards are in place to mitigate the hazardous consequences of potential incidents. LOPA and the Matrix in the context of building safety, assumes that one or more of the safety measures that are in place in a given structure will fail when needed, so other measures must be in place to ensure preservation of life and property. The Matrix, through the assessment of over 200 individual building features grouped within 19 critical building and life safety categories, provides a holistic assessment of a building s safety and resiliency. As a web-based tool, the data on each building assessed for each of the building features analyzed provides a wealth of information. The Matrix, when completed, will provide clarity on the current status of our building stock and shed critical light on potential life safety issues associated with the ever increasing use of sprinkler trade-offs. I encourage each of you to visit the NASFM Foundation Safety Layering website at to explore the educational tools and experience the proof of concept B Occupancy Matrix for yourself. I m sure you will see the benefit of getting this technology into the field. As you can see, the proposed plan is aggressive. It is purposely designed that way in an effort to provide answers to critical life safety questions sooner rather than later. It is simply too important to hesitate and watch another code cycle come and go without finding answers about the safety of the public and the resiliency of our buildings. We look forward to detailing this research plan when we meet in Denver October 29 th. Until then, please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance. 4

5 Research Methodology This proposed research effort, though potentially a more involved multi-year project, will focus solely on year one and two efforts with completion being the end of the 2017 calendar year. This aggressive timeline comes with an understanding of the need to provide valid scientific answers as we enter the 2018 state code adoption cycles and prepare for subsequent ICC code development proceedings. At that point, a clearly defined and scientifically valid analysis of holistic fire safety integration will have been completed. Full-scale live fire testing may be warranted after years one and two are completed to answer identified knowledge gaps exposed through year one and two research. This determination will be made following the completion of the year two deliverables. The research plan encompasses two main areas of importance which will be undertaken concurrently: Emphasis A involves the completion of a full academic research effort including an extensive literature review and computer fire modeling performed under the direction of an experienced Principal Investigator (PI). Utilizing the results of the already initiated preparatory code analysis to inform and focus the literature review, a thorough evaluation will provide direction and scope for a computer modeling analysis. Comprehensive peerreviewed reports will be generated and made available to project sponsors following both the literature review and computer modeling phases. Emphasis B is the development and deployment of the NASFM Safety Layering Risk Assessment tool (The Matrix ). Utilizing an initial investment from FEMA Fire Act Grant funds, the NASFM Foundation assembled a team of subject matter experts who developed, field tested, and released a computer application app for use in existing [B] Business group occupancy structures. The app utilizes a series of fill in the blank questions which allows users the ability to carefully and accurately assess the fire and life safety features of a building, consistent with performing a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) as a Fire Protection Engineer. This effort will allow completion of the code interpretation and software development process to expand the laptop and tablet app to include the remaining International Existing Building Code (IEBC) occupancy groups. The web-based application will also be populated utilizing a valid representative sample of fire departments and existing buildings. This will allow us to gain an understanding of common safety layering shortcomings and strengths present in existing buildings in a more expedient way than waiting for it to be completely populated by fire departments across the nation. The research plan is detailed through the use of various project phases and deliverables, supplemented by budget figures for each phase. This is followed by supporting budget documents in Appendix A 5

14 Future Research Opportunities Phases C-1 and C-2 should not be considered part of the proposed FAIL-SAFE research project and are provided here solely as informational in nature should the cumulative results of the proposed two year research plan expose knowledge gaps of a significant nature. Should this situation arise, the NASFM Foundation will seek to leverage the research work previously completed to obtain funding from various sources including federal grant programs and industry partnerships. Phase C-1 1. If research in the form of the literature review, computer modeling and Matrix data analysis identify a knowledge gap that warrants further study, full-scale fire performance testing will be undertaken. a. The fire performance testing will be undertaken under the direction of a certified third party testing facility, selected through a competitive bid process. b. The fire performance testing will be developed to test the research hypothesis developed in Phase I, Step 4 during the first year activities. i. This effort may characterize and quantify increased fire hazards or risks, or decreased building fire performance, associated with the use of automatic fire sprinkler system trade-offs in commercial buildings. 1. The safe level of individual passive fire protection system usage may be identified and addressed in subsequent code adoption cycles resulting in a reduction of allowable trade-offs. ii. This effort may characterize and quantify the presence of acceptable risk levels relative to fire hazards or risks, or decreased building fire performance, resulting from the proper design, installation and maintenance of fire protection sprinkler systems. 1. Design, installation and maintenance issues and obstacles may be identified and addressed in subsequent code adoption cycles. iii. This effort may characterize and quantify acceptable levels of fire and life safety associated with the use of automatic fire sprinkler systems regardless of the number and type of passive fire protection system tradeoffs allowed. 1. The increased installation of automatic fire protection sprinklers may be expanded to additional occupancy use and building construction types. Phase C-2 1. Results obtained during Phase C-1 will be evaluated and used to validate, and amend where needed, fire risk factors used by the NASFM Foundation Safety Layering Matrix for existing buildings. a. The validated amended values may be used in subsequent code adoption cycles to justify code corrections relating to fire protection system integration. 14

15 2. Results from previous research will be used to provide the basis for discussion and development of a numerical point system for evaluation of fire protection features and systems. a. The acquired numerical point system will be utilized to expand the NASFM Matrix for use in new construction and design. b. The newly established building and design values may be used in subsequent code adoption cycles to justify code corrections relating to fire protection system integration. 15
