The life safety provisions of the building code are inherently conservative. The restrictions they impose to the creative work of architects create the need for fire modeling work to test the proposed design, verify its acceptability and demonstrate to the code official that it is a safe solution.

LCI has the in-house expertise to perform the necessary fire modeling and code analyses and, when appropriate, to recommend additional features to complement the design and make it safe. LCI staff uses fire science and validated tools to make predictions of the effects of a fire exposure:
