What problem does it solve?
Architects and AEC professionals often face complex, jurisdiction-specific fire and life safety code requirements that can lead to costly redesigns, compliance failures, or compromised occupant safety if not addressed correctly during the design process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Code Guidance: Covers fire strategy development, compartmentation, egress design, smoke control, active fire protection, and structural fire protection with references to IBC, BS 9999, and Approved Document B.
- Practical Design Tools: Includes worked examples for stair width calculations, travel distance checks, and refuge area sizing for common building types including offices, residential towers, and assembly spaces.
- Verification Support: Provides a built-in self-test runner to validate skill integrity and check input file paths for automated workflow integration.
Quick Start
Use the fire-life-safety skill to review the egress design for your 10-story sprinklered office building and confirm it meets local travel distance and stair width code requirements.
