Abstract
The report presents four different alternative designs for a nursing home or an accommodation for elderly people (special housing) that are possible to use with the installation of an automatic sprinkler system. The conclusion of the performed simulations and the subsequent discussion is that under certain conditions may be possible to integrate the lounge with corridors and that automatic door closers can be excluded. The alternative designs have been verified with a risk-based approach based on event tree methodology. With the use of a reference object it has been shown how the method can be applied to examine whether the requirements of Boverkets Building Regulations, BBR are met in the alternative designs
