✦ Synopsis

A fundamental concept of 5re safety codes is the categorization of buildings according to their occupancy or use. The intrinsic purpose of such classi5cation is to simplify the application of code regulations. While actual occupancy 5re risk varies in every building space, administration is greatly facilitated by classi5cation into a small number of categories. In application, once determined, occupancy class becomes the basis for building 5re risk assessments. Traditional occupancy classi5cation by building function is challenged by modern multifunctional structures that do not 5t the earlier categories. Furthermore, these traditional categories are unnecessary given the current capabilities of performance-based 5re safety design and by performance-based 5re safety codes.
