N2  - Increased fire losses within industry in recent years accentuate the need of methods for economic optimisation of fire protection in industrial buildings. Knowledge of the significant factors of fire loss in industrial buildings will form the basis for such optimisation, and in this paper some factors of significance are recognized. The expected benefit to cost relationship on a national level, as well as for individual cases, of some fire protective measures are discussed. Finally, some principles for the evaluation of the overall fire risk in industrial buildings are discussed, and the practical application of a functionally based method for such an evaluation is illustrated by examples.<p />
