Factors Affecting the Fire Safety Design of Photovoltaic Installations Under Performance-Based Regulations in Norway

Abstract The impact of Photovoltaic (PV) installations on the fire safety buildings must be considered in all building projects where such energy systems are established. holistic largely depends how PV installation is by different actors during design and construction process. Research has therefore been undertaken to study performance-based regulations combination with lack national guidelines affect overall considerations for Norway. Four factors were found govern which extent emphasised phase: (1) whether was first its kind as a pioneering building, (2) built before or after publication 2018 revision norm NEK 400, (3) level knowledge experience consultant, turn affects use engineering tools detailing phases, (4) degree integration building. main goal give an insight contribution development in-depth handled Norway, may also relevant other countries similar regulations.
