Abstract
The first task in the room of origin fire hazards analysis is to select the approach that will be used. This requires a balance of the required capabilities of the model, the type of output required, the available tools, and the resolution of the analysis output and possibly other factors. Figure 1 provides an overview of the process for selecting the analysis approach.
