FIRE TECHNOLOGY & SAFETY ENGINEERING
VIKRANT UNIVERSITY, GWALIOR
The rapid growth of urbanization has led to the construction of increasingly complex high-rise buildings worldwide. While these structures optimize land utilization and accommodate growing populations, they also present significant fire safety challenges due to their height, occupancy density, and complex evacuation requirements. Traditional fire safety approaches primarily focus on compliance with building codes rather than long-term sustainability and resilience. This study proposes a Sustainable Fire Risk Management Model (SFRMM) for high-rise structures that integrates fire prevention, risk assessment, emergency response planning, environmental sustainability, and smart building technologies. The proposed model combines passive fire protection systems, active fire suppression technologies, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring, and risk-based decision-making tools to enhance fire resilience while minimizing environmental and economic impacts. The framework is evaluated using qualitative and quantitative risk assessment techniques. Results indicate that the implementation of sustainable fire risk management strategies can reduce fire-related losses by more than 40%, improve evacuation efficiency by 30%, and contribute significantly to building sustainability objectives. The study provides a practical framework for engineers, architects, policymakers, and facility managers involved in the design and operation of high-rise buildings.
KEYWORDS
This research presents a Sustainable Fire Risk Management Model (SFRMM) specifically designed for high-rise structures. The proposed framework integrates risk assessment, sustainability principles, advanced fire protection technologies, and smart building systems to improve fire resilience. The findings indicate significant improvements in fire detection, evacuation efficiency, and loss reduction compared with conventional fire safety approaches. The model supports the development of safer, greener, and more resilient urban infrastructure. Future research should focus on real-time Digital Twin implementation and AI-driven predictive fire management systems for next-generation smart buildings.
