About
Mr. Bukowski is a Senior Consultant with the Baltimore office of Rolf Jensen and Associates. He joined RJA in 2009 on retiring from the federal government (NIST) after 35 years as a research fire protection engineer. His responsibilities included coordination with the U.S. and international building regulatory and technical standards communities as they considered changes based on the research conducted by the agency.
Current work with RJA includes projects worldwide that involve code compliance such as performance-based design, fire hazard and fire risk analysis, fire alarm systems, mass notification systems, fire modeling, transportation systems, and fire protected elevator systems for egress and fire service access.
