Performance Design Technologies

Performance-based fire protection engineering out of Knoxville.

About

A Knoxville fire protection engineering consultancy whose stated speciality is creative solutions to fire protection problems — code consulting, performance-based design, smoke management system design and fire protection system design. Performance-based design is the harder half of that list: it argues a building’s fire safety from first principles where prescriptive code compliance is impractical, and it is the discipline the OpenFire method catalogue is built around.
