EVACUATION MODELLING

Complementary to fire modelling, evacuation modelling uses computer simulations to justify fire engineered solutions, and can help to illustrate the efficacy of client’s design concepts. MetaSolutions can provide a report that incorporates the theory of human behaviour, resulting in a considered and clearly articulated narrative to support the fire strategy.  The application of evacuation modelling can be used before expensive decisions are made, to identify the optimum configuration. The use of evacuation modelling and human behaviour analysis can help clients to develop business plans for restaurants, bars and nightclubs where occupancy figures are critical to the financial viability of a project. It can be used to justify legal compliance, such as that required in fire risk assessments and licensing applications.
