I specialize in fire protection and Fire Safety Engineering (FSE), collaborating with Studiogamma SRL.
What is Fire Safety Engineering?
Fire Safety Engineering, also known as FSE, is a modern approach to evaluating the safety of buildings and activities. This discipline enables the analysis and design of solutions to ensure an adequate level of fire safety, using innovative and performance-based methodologies.
When to Use Fire Safety Engineering
FSE is applicable in various contexts, including:
- Exemption cases: When existing regulations fail to address specific situations.
- Projects for unregulated activities: To ensure specific performance not covered by current standards, such as operational continuity in case of a fire or the protection of high-value assets.
Why Choose an Engineering Approach?
Adopting Fire Safety Engineering means opting for advanced and tailored solutions that take into account the specific needs of each project. This approach reduces the costs of fire prevention compliance and offers greater freedom in the design of buildings and activities.

The Objectives of Fire Safety Engineering
When applied correctly, Fire Safety Engineering allows for an analytical and quantitative evaluation of fire risks in buildings or activities. Its main objectives include:
- Innovative design: Enables the design of buildings with unique architectural value or specific purposes, overcoming the limitations of traditional standards.
- Resource optimization: Reduces material waste by ensuring efficient and cost-effective solutions.
- Assessment of complex projects: Facilitates the preparation of fire prevention plans in challenging situations.
- Emergency plan analysis: Simulates the progression of a fire, including the spread of combustion products, moment by moment.
- Investigation of fire causes: Reconstructs the phases of a fire to identify or rule out accidental hypotheses.
How Fire Safety Engineering is Implemented
The application of Fire Safety Engineering is based on three main stages:
- Defining the design methodology: Choosing appropriate calculation codes to represent reality and analyze fire behavior.
- Defining fire scenarios: Identifying fire scenarios in collaboration with regulatory authorities.
- Evaluating fire effects: Conducting a quantitative analysis of the consequences of a fire in relation to the defined scenarios, verifying the achievement of performance thresholds.
