Title: Building Bulletin 100
Post by: wee brian on September 15, 2005, 12:02:09 PM: Has anybody had a look at the draft BB100 yet? I've made a start but I'm struggling with the format. There's some good stuff in there but its written in a discussive way rather than as a guide for designers.

You've motived me to look through it again. I'm having a bad day here, can anyone tell me where it details maximum compartment sizes and the degree of structural fire protection needed?

I like the idea of BB100 but its hard to pick the guidance out from the commentary.
