HBF693 - Human Behaviour During Fire Emergencies

This course will provide an overview to human behaviour during fire emergencies. The basic concepts of human behaviour, occupant tenability during fire scenarios, environmental psychology, founders of human behaviour research, 
movement of occupants, response delay, and exit choice behaviour will be studied. These concepts will be related to building design and construction so that the student may understand where requirements in the code originate from. 
The student will receive theoretical and hands-on training in the modelling of occupant evacuation, as well as research methods for building safety. The course will help the student understand how being able to predict human behaviour
can lead to increased fire safety in a building design. Case studies will be used to illustrate the concepts discussed in class to show that they are, indeed, applicable to ?real life?.
