About this project
Build an automated building fire load assessment system using ESP32, people counting sensors, and weight sensors to calculate fuel load per NFPA 557. The system monitors occupant count via infrared beam counters, estimates combustible material quantity using floor load sensors, calculates fire load density (MJ/m²), compares against code limits, and generates fire safety compliance reports for building permits and insurance.
