"This report intends to provide information regarding the scientific literature available at the time writing that may be relevant within the context of major residential buildings with single-exit design. This study was initiated by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to gather and understand the state-of-the-art in scientific literature and methodologies, with a specific focus on fire safety and egress in buildings that incorporate a single exit stair. The review has been conducted in the context of recent interest in designing single exit stair configurations in multi-unit residential buildings. Drawing from a wide range of academic and technical literature, the report summarizes key findings, highlights knowledge gaps, and explores the implications of single-exit configurations for occupant safety and emergency response. This report does not assert that the existing literature is sufficient to determine whether single-exit configurations offer a level of safety equivalent to that of dual-exit designs"--Overview of study, page 1.
