Modelo de apoio ao desenvolvimento das fases de projeto informacional e conceitual de soluções de combate a incêndios em estruturas

Abstract

Fires can cause immeasurable losses for both living beings and material goods, they can affect structures, forests, undergrowth, vehicles, and other environments, with structures being the place with the highest incidence of fire. In this way, it is essential to resolve its occurrence, or in the event of an accident, act effectively to suppress it immediately. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in prevention and protection measures. The design of effective firefighting solutions permeates the product development process, which in a structured and systematic way, enables the construction of adequate solutions for solving problems, induces innovation, favoring the fulfillment of organizational objectives and the society. Thus, the present research aims to propose a support model that guides the informational and conceptual design for the development of firefighting solutions in structures. The term structure refers to residential facility, lodging services, retail commercial, professional, personal and technical services, educational and physical culture, public meeting places, automotive services, healthcare and institutional services industrial, medium and high-risk commercial, wholesaler and warehouses. To propose the methodology, four strategies were carried out: i) structured and critical analysis of the possible ways to achieve fire safety, based on case studies and literature review; ii) conducting interviews and applying questionnaires with specialists to survey the main needs of the area; iii) adaptation of project tools, based on questions directed at the area; and, iv) application of the developed model. Based on these strategies, the generated knowledge was organized and systematized, generating the proposed model. This model was presented to specialists in the field and was executed by three groups: scientific initiation students, chemical engineering graduates and professionals from a technology company. To analyze the three model evaluation rounds, the participants were consulted using a questionnaire, regarding the following criteria: Applicability, Graphic Clarity, Accuracy of Representation, Completeness, Robustness, Reusability and Economic Efficiency. In which it was verified that the proposed model meets the aforementioned criteria.
