IS-Aligned Strategic Evaluation of Fire Protection Systems for Improving Fire Safety in Mixed-Occupancy High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …
