Abstract
The fire load has a strong influence on the fire development during a compartment fire and is a significant parameter in fire safety design methods. The assessment of the fire load is therefore an important task in fire safety engineering. This chapter reviews the methods to survey the fire load, discusses how variation during the life time of the building can be represented and how to derive design fire loads. An overview of past fire load surveys and a summary of fire load data for specific building types is provided as well.
