Foreword
Fire protection is an integral part of building design and must be integrated into the overall design process from the very beginning of the project. It is vitally important for everyone involved in the building design process~architects; structural, mechanical, and process en-gineers; interior designers, and other design professionals~to be aware of the fire protection engineering issues that need to be considered at each step in the process. In this book, Jane Lataille, a well known fire protection engineer with over 27 years of experience in the field, explains in an easy- to-understand, straightforward fashion, what fire protection engineering involves and what issues need to be considered in integrating fire protection into the overall building design process. This book provides excellent guidance to the non-fire protection engineer on the coordination necessary during the design process to make sure that the fire protection design provides a level of safety acceptable to building owners, insurers, and code enforcers that does not impose unnecessary constraints on the overall building design or operation.
