Roadmap for incorporation of risk criteria and analysis in building regulatory dicisions
conference paper
It has been suggested that future generations of building regulations can become more risk-informed and performance based, and that development of the regulations and the risk bases that underpin them should occur within a socio-technical systems framework. To facilitate this, it is important for regulators and the market to understand and agree the risk measure(s) that will be used to define the risks, the specific risk criteria that will be used in the evaluation of the risks, and the analysis and design approaches that will be used to demonstrate that building design solutions can be verified as meeting the risk criteria and measures. To help facilitate movement towards this objective, a roadmap is presented, which includes guidance relative to selecting a risk measure, associated risk criteria, and appropriate means of quantifying risk and undertaking risk-informed design of buildings.
