Foreword A Guide Fire on Protection Fire Protection and Performance-based and Performance-based Fire Engineering Fire Engineering The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has been working closely with industry partners to promote sustainable construction. Sustainable construction refers to the adoption of building designs, construction methods and materials that are environmentally friendly. It also means using materials and resources that have sustainable supplies and are readily available from many sources. Instead of relying too heavily on raw materials such as sand and granite, we should also consider the adoption of steel, composite materials and other forms of construction such as using drywalls. However one major concern among the building practitioners is the level of fire protection required and the effectiveness of these protective measures. It is therefore important to address these issues and clear the misperceptions that are associated with fire protection for sustainable construction. This publication is timely as the Fire Code had been reviewed and the revised Fire Code was published in June 2007 to address these concerns. This is the second in the Sustainable Construction series. It aims to provide information on fire safety requirements for buildings adopting steel and other methods of sustainable construction, different passive fire protection methods and the concept of performance-based fire engineering. Special thanks go to the Working Committee members for their time and effort in preparing this publication. I am confident that it will promote a better understanding of fi re safety requirements for sustainable construction and serve as a useful guide for all building practitioners.
