SPACES
Revit has Spaces focused on HVAC, and Arquiteture (through Rooms).
Why not creating a Space focused on Fire Safety, by creating something similar to HVAC spaces?
That way you could automaticaly calculate a number of things and report them:
- number of people occuping the room based on the room area and its utilization, or not
- number of people occuping the room, and considered exiting the same room
- risk cathegory of the room based on other parameters (occupancy, age of occupants,...)
- utilization of the space
You can create this parameters for rooms or spaces and report them through shared parameters, but you can not associate a formula to them.
Adding this specifications to a Room or Space, or creating a new Space type for this analysis would allow a smoother workflow, and maybe bring new people to Revit.
PATH OF TRAVEL IMPROVEMENT
I think this one is hard to program, but I think it would be a great add to the new Path fo Travel tool.
The ideia is to ask Revit the area within a certain distance or time from a point, instead of those parameters between two given points.
This would allow a better analysis of the distances to walk in a building, and the distribution of fire safety equipaments like fire extinguers and hooses.
