Economic Impact of Fire: Cost and Impact of Fire Protection in Buildings
The objective of the work is to establish and apply a methodology for evaluating the total benefits and costs related to fire protection features in buildings. An important component to reducing economic loss from fire is the ability to measure this loss. The work focuses on identifying the various dimensions of the economic impact of fire. It also seeks to measure these dimensions so that the cost of fire prevention and other interventions can be weighed against their benefits. Specifically, the project addresses four tasks which are summarized in this report: (i) literature review on methods to measure costs and losses from fires, and methods for cost-benefit evaluation from fire protection features in buildings, (ii) critical analysis of the identified methods including the data needs, advantages and limitations, (iii) recommendation of a holistic calculation method for evaluating the total benefits and costs related to fire protection features in buildings, and (iv) presentation of five case studies.
