Abstract text:
Fire safety, defined by Law No. 10 of 1995 as a quality requirement of buildings, was not a priority for beneficiaries and investors in the field of construction; this area has come to the attention of the general public after the Collective Club tragedy in Bucharest. In the wake of this event, the necessity of a minimum security level of fire safety idea has spread addressing the public feeding spaces and educational units. The fire safety security level of a building is maintained at an optimum level as long as the building elements and fire prevention and extinguishing facilities of a building meet the requirements set up at the design stage. Even if these requirements are met, there is still an aspect that may lead to a decrease in the level of fire safety, because at present there is no monitoring of the number of users in a public building, which leads to exceeding the designed value. In order to improve the fire safety level of the constructions, the creation of a system for counting users in a public building is proposed.
Key Words:
