Egress Enabler

This upload includes a spreadsheet and a document that serves as a user guide to the Egress Enabler, an evaluation instrument for egressibility developed as a joint effort between the division of fire safety engineering, and the Center for Ageing and Supportive Environments (CASE), both at Lund University. The Egress Enabler consists of two components, the environmental and the personal, which serves as the basis for the evaluation of egressibility in the analysis phase.
