- Abstract
This paper presents the fire engineering analysis and alternative solutions presented by Caldwell Consulting Ltd for three projects involving historic/feature buildings. The fire reports for each of the projects developed the fire safety objectives and the fire design to meet the New Zealand Building Code. This involved the use of alternative solutions to resolve a variety of non-complying issues. The results showed that with the proposed fire protection features the objectives of the NZ Building Code for means of escape and spread of fire were achieved and the life safety of the occupants could be maintained, while retaining the individual feature of each of the buildings.
