Explain how building designers predict what will happen in a fire and why those predictions are sometimes not accurate.

This assignment is for a course called Fire related human behavior. Attached is the textbook.

Your
town has just experienced a major fire at a social hall where several people
were killed. The local newspaper has asked you to write an article that
explains how building designers predict what will happen in a fire and why
those predictions are sometimes not accurate. In this assignment, prepare a
document that addresses the following:
Interpret current systems
models, modeling programs, their features, and how they are similar and
different.
Explain how hard and soft
systems approaches differ and how these differences make the various types
of models more useful or less useful.
Identify the logical basis
for goal decomposition. Categorize three goal-based system approaches that
use the decomposition technique.
Summarize any assumptions in
the current method for calculating exit capacities in the model codes.
Determine if a simple linear
model of exit capacities is less valid than the effective width model, and
state whether or not researchers discovered any inaccuracies.
Identify the source of the
effective width model. Describe an important limitation to the accuracy of
the effective width model.
Your
document should be four to six pages in length, double spaced. You are required
to have an introduction, a statement of purpose (on the first page), a body,
and a conclusion. Be sure to credit all sources.
