Fire Safety System / Device Parameters
Mechanical smoke exhaust
Mechanical supply air
Jet fans
Natural vents
Natural make-up air
Assumed building leakage
Sprinklers (RTI, spacing, location, distance to fire, temperature rating, etc.)

Outputs
Actual heat release rate curve should be produced and compared to
specified design fire
Sufficient outputs should be provided to justify any results used in the FER
