The material in this appendix was collected and summarized by Johan Lundin, Department of Fire
Safety Engineering, Lund University, Sweden. The appendix contains a list of Internet addresses
with material of interest for fire safety engineering. Such addresses have a tendency to change from
time to time, but an up-to-date document is accessible athttp://www.brand.lth.se/english/.

NIST is a national laboratory dedicated to enhancing the competitive-
ness of U.S. industry and public safety performance prediction meth-
ods, measurement technologies, and technical advances needed to
assure the life cycle quality and economy of constructed facilities. Its
products are used by those who own, design, construct, supply, and
provide for the safety or environmental quality of constructed facilities.

HAZARD I involves an interdisciplinary consideration of physics,
chemistry, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, biology, toxicology, and
human behavior. As an implementation of the hazard assessment
method, the HAZARD I software consists of a collection of data,
procedures, and computer programs which are used to simulate the
important time-dependent phenomena involved in residential fires.
The following models are included:
Smoke transport model (CFAST) Evacuation (Exit)
Detector and sprinkler activation (Detact)
Toxicity (Tenab)
FASTLI TE
http://flame.cfr.nist.gov/fire/fastlite.html
FASTLite is a user-friendly software package that builds on the core
routines of FPEtool and the computer model CFAST to provide calcu-
lations of fire phenomena for use by the building designer, code official,fire protection engineer, and fire-safety related practitioner. FASTLite
includes a number of tools of use to the fire safety practitioner:
three-room fire model
heat and smoke detector activation
suppression by sprinklers
lateral flame spread
mass flow through a vent
atrium smoke temperature
ceiling jet temperature plume filling rate
radiant ignition of a nearby fuel

Simulex is a computer package for PCs that is able to simulate the
escape movement of many people from large, geometrically com-
plex building structures.
Fast, easy-to-use importing of CAD DXF files, and the
automatic assessment of routes and travel distances
through the whole building.
Precise modeling of each persons position, orientation,
walking speed, side-stepping, overtaking movement, androute-assessment at every 1/10th of a second.
Full hard-disk recording of the evacuation, which can be
played back at any time for repeated viewing and analysis.
Final output file describing the building geometry, the
number of people in different parts of the building, and
a breakdown of the number of people leaving the building
over regular time-steps to enable flow rate analysis

EXODUSan evacuation tool for the safety industryhas been
developed to meet the challenging demands of performance-based
safety codes. Based on a highly sophisticated set of submodels, it
shatters the mold of traditional engineering analysis to produce
realistic peoplepeople, peoplefire, and peoplestructure inter-
actions. As a result, the safety engineer can test more designs in
less time to reach the optimal solution, free of the high cost and
potential danger associated with human evacuation trials.
