Abstract:
This Symposium is about fire safety engineering and the
development of performance codes for fire safety. It is
the second conference in a series, the first of which
was in Sydney, Australia last year. The Australian
Symposium was exciting because of the impressive efforts
underway there to develop and introduce a
performance-based fire code. Not to be outdone, this
year's Symposium features another such code, the
proposed Nordic Model Performance Code. That's
fantastic! Our hats are off to Pentti Loikkanen and the
other organizers of this Symposium. We hope this series
will extend for a number of years and to a number of
countries.
