Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation, endorsement, or implication that the entities, products, materials, or equipment are necessarily the best available for the purpose. Disclaimer The policy of NIST is to use the International System of Units (metric units) in all publications. In this document, however, units are presented in metric units or the inch-pound system, whichever is prevalent to the discipline. Building Research Establishment provided guidance in the use of their models and egress modeling in general. In addition, the authors acknowledge the support of all of the model developers who aided in the understanding of their individual models by answering emails, phone calls, and/or sending publications.
