SFPE has just completed the Engineering Guide to Substantiating a Fire Model for a Given Application and the fourth edition of the Fire Alarm Signaling Systems Handbook.
The Engineering Guide to Substantiating a Fire Model for a Given Application provides a framework for determining and documenting the suitability of a fire model for use in a specific application. The framework in the guide is applicable to all types of fire models, ranging from algebraic calculations to zone or lumped parameter models to CFD or field models.
The Engineering Guide to Substantiating a Fire Model for a Given Application provides a framework for determining and documenting the suitability of a fire model for use in a specific application. The framework in the guide is applicable to all types of fire models, ranging from algebraic calculations to zone or lumped parameter models to CFD or field models.
The guide addresses:
• Definition of the problem that is intended to be solved using modeling
• Selection of a candidate model
• Model verification and validation
• Uncertainty analysis
The price is $58 for SFPE members or $161 for non-members (in the US) and $63.70 for members or $201.15 for non-members outside the U.S. (Soft cover, approx. 70 pages)
The fourth edition of the Fire Alarm Signaling Systems Handbook was updated to reflect the many changes in the design of fire alarm systems that have occurred over the last seven years. New chapters have been added on mass notification, communications strategies and on fire department interfaces. As with the last edition, the fourth edition was written by Wayne Moore, P.E., FSFPE and Richard Bukowski, P.E., FSFPE.

Fire Alarm Signaling Systems also provides information on how to:
• Establish fire protection goals, match the fire alarm system to the goals, and know system limitations
• Effectively design a mass notification system
• Weigh the benefits of prescriptive versus performance-based design approaches
• Maintain quality control during installations
• Analyze and improve intelligibility of voice communication systems
• Understand the elements and importance of a well-designed fire service interface
Get up-to-speed on plans review, acceptance testing, and commissioning...the latest testing schedules...and methods for cost analysis. Fire Alarm Signaling Systems is an indispensable tool for installers, designers, engineers, maintainers, and inspectors, as well as an excellent training text. (Hardbound, Approx. 480 pp., 2010)
The price is $107.95 for members or $118.95 for non-members, including shipping. Contact SFPE Headquarters for shipping prices to addresses outside the U.S.

Is it possible to order a PDF version of this guide? If not, will this be considered as an option for future guides?
I agree with Kristopher. A pdf version of the guide would be most interesting. Can it be purchased already?
I concur with the previous comments. It surprises me that this is not readily available
