This book highlights human behaviour and architectural
considerations for prescriptive code requirements for emergency
exits in heritage cultural centers. Closed circuit television
camera (CCTV) footage from a Canadian heritage cultural centre was
analyzed from three separate unannounced evacuations, where
recommendations based on the first two evacuations were implemented
for the third. This study aims to (1) develop a baseline for the
behaviour and actions of people during the pre-movement and
movement stages of emergency egress and evacuation situations and
(2) collect behavioural and movement data to aid the fire safety
community with the decision process for egress and evacuation
strategies and (3) interrogate and highlight architectural barriers
in heritage structures with respect to emergency evacuation. The
discussion of findings includes occupant behaviour, architectural
implications and evacuation modelling and considers the
often-conflicting intersection between architectural conservation
and fire safety.
