Fire Safety Equivalency System
Fire Safety Equivalency System :
The Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) is a system used in the United States to evaluate the overall level of a building's fire safety. FSES applies to health care, prisons and jails, offices, laboratory buildings, and overnight accommodations in?National Parks. FSES values are provided in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA ) Standard 101A, Guide on Alternative Approaches to Life Safety. A FSES evaluation defines the relative impact of a deficiency or proposed improvement to the building. It also provides a means of comparing the effectiveness of proposed improvements by producing a comparative baseline and readily shows the relative gain in fire safety for proposed improvements. Fire sprinklers have an extensive impact on fire safety and are therefore allotted a high value in the FSES
