Fire Protection Engineering
& Design Services

Performance-based solutions, groundbreaking design.

HAI is the industry leader in developing alternative solutions to prescriptive code requirements, using engineering analysis methods based on defined fire safety goals and objectives.

Performance-based solutions are often aimed at achieving a code-equivalent level of fire safety, while addressing owner-specified goals, such as protection of critical equipment, art collections, or other valuable property; preservation of historic or significant architectural features; continuity of business operations; security; and cost. Through chairmanship positions on several NFPA technical committees, HAI staff consistently lead in development of groundbreaking fire safety techniques and they have written Code and Engineering Handbooks as well as numerous chapters for SFPE and NFPA handbooks.
