What are Performance Solutions?
Understanding Performance Solutions in Fire Safety Design
The National Construction Code (NCC) offers two main pathways to demonstrate compliance with fire safety regulations:
Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) Provisions: These are standard, prescriptive requirements that, if followed, automatically satisfy the NCC’s Performance Requirements. While this method is straightforward, it can limit design flexibility and may not always provide the most cost-effective solution.
Performance Solutions: This pathway allows for customized designs, materials, or systems that deviate from the DtS provisions but still meet the core NCC Performance Requirements. Performance Solutions are typically used for complex, unique, or existing buildings where DtS compliance is impractical or undesirable. These solutions are developed by accredited Fire Safety Engineers and are a key component of innovative fire safety design.
Why Choose FEBQ/FER for Performance Solutions?
Performance Solutions allow for more creative architectural designs and the use of materials or configurations that may not be possible under the DtS provisions.
By customizing fire safety measures to the specific needs of the building and its unique risks, Performance Solutions often result in more efficient and cost-effective designs, as opposed to following the rigid DtS requirements.
Ideal for projects with specific constraints, such as existing buildings, heritage structures, or complex designs where DtS compliance isn’t practical or desirable.
In certain cases, Performance Solutions can result in a higher level of fire safety, as they address the building’s unique risks and characteristics, often surpassing the fire safety levels achievable through DtS compliance.
The process involves early and ongoing engagement with all relevant stakeholders, fostering a more integrated and transparent approach to fire safety design.
