Architectural Implications for Evacuation Modelling of a Heritage Cultural Centre
There are several architectural elements unique to historic and heritage designated buildings that have an impact on egress, as presented in Chap. 1. Additionally, when heritage buildings are renovated to meet modern code requirements for egress, it is in the best interest of the building to minimize interventions as much as possible to preserve heritage value. The data collected in the study is valuable to the study of emergency egress procedures in heritage buildings specifically and addresses the dearth in modern egress data in heritage buildings raised elsewhere (Thompson et al. in Fire Saf. J. 78:251–261, 2015). The implications of the architectural changes made to the building throughout its service life can be evaluated using a validated egress model, presented herein.
