When should performance-based approach be adopted?<br />
Only registered Fire Safety Engineers (FSEs) are qualified to assess a performance-based design<br />
approach. It is a norm in the industry that the prescriptive approach is used for standard-design<br />
buildings whereas the performance-based approach is for more complex buildings. If there is<br />
possible cost optimisation or design constraints faced when using the prescriptive method, the<br />
decision may then be made to use the performance approach. Ultimately, it is a decision to be<br />
made by the developers and QPs.<br />
