  3. NFPA
  4. Background
  5. NFPA 72, 2007 Mass Notification Systems Provide “real-time information and instructions to people in a building, area, site, or installation using intelligible voice communications along with visible signals, text, and graphics, and possibly including tactile or other communication methods” DoD UFC 4-021-01
  6. NFPA 72, 2010 Approved by ANSI in 2009 Chapter 24 Emergency Communications Systems (ECS) ECS = EVACS + MNS
  7. NFPA 72, 2010 Chapter 24 establishes “Minimum required levels of performance, reliability, and quality of installation for ECS but does not establish the only methods by which these requirements are to be achieved.” Ex: Controls, Ancillary Functions, Pathway Survivability, and… Voice Evacuation Messages: Sound System Requirements
  8. NFPA 72, 2010 “Emergency communications systems shall be capable of the reproduction of prerecorded, synthesized, or live messages with voice intelligibility” Intelligible Voice Messages
  9. Speech Intelligibility Intelligible Voice Messages “Intelligible” Metrics: Common Intelligibility Scale (CIS) Speech Transmission Index (STI) Speech Transmission Index for Public Address (STI-PA) RApid Speech Transmission Index (RASTI) Articulation Index (AI) AlCons (Percent Articulation of Consonants)
  10. Speech Intelligibility Speech Transmission Index & Common Intelligibility Scale Commonly used metrics 0.50 STI = 0.70 CIS Example: STI
  11. Speech Intelligibility Example: STI “The intelligibility of an emergency communication system is considered acceptable if at least 90 percent of the measurement locations within each ADS (acoustically distinguishable space) have a measured STI of not less than 0.45 (0.65 CIS) and an average STI of not less than 0.50 STI (0.70 CIS).” -NFPA 2010 Annex D
  12. Acoustically Distinguishable Spaces Acoustically Distinguishable Spaces “distinguished from other spaces due to acoustical, environmental or use characteristics, such as reverberation time and ambient sound pressure level”
  13. Acoustically Distinguishable Spaces MIT Sloan School of Management, Bruner/Cott Architects and Planners
  14. Acoustically Distinguishable Spaces Logan Airport, Terminal A, HOK
