Alternative Methods Development
AEGIS Engineering provides professional fire protection engineering services to assist our clients in overcoming challenges posed by building code and fire code limitations. Involve AEGIS Engineering to help develop an innovative Alternative Means and Methods (AMM) solution. This may involve evaluating the intent of applicable code sections or applying a computer model to analyze the performance of the proposed design.
Fire, Smoke, and Evacuation Simulations
Computer modeling tools enable teams to evaluate the anticipated performance of their designs under predicted fire conditions. AEGIS Engineering can utilize these tools, comparing fire alarm or sprinkler activation times and occupant egress times to smoke and heat conditions, to help develop an effective performance-based design.
Smoke Control Design
Computer modeling can be completed by AEGIS Engineering to identify appropriate fan sizes based on the predicted performance of your specific building, helping reduce or eliminate redundant equipment and anticipating potential issues before they occur during system commissioning.
Sustainable Design Approaches
It can be challenging to incorporate building openings and limit mechanical equipment in order to satisfy green building criteria while complying with code requirements. AEGIS Engineering can assist in developing innovative ways to satisfy the conditions faced by your project.
