The SFPE Code Official's Guide to Performance-Based Design Review 2004 (Society of Fire Protection Engineers)

The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance to code officials and others who may be in the position of judging the adequacy of a performance-based fire protection design. It provides an overview of many of the factors that might be considered when reviewing a performance-based design. While written for performance-based fire protection designs, the concepts in this guide may be applicable to performance-based designs that are prepared to protect against hazards other than fire.
