Fire Safety Research for Better Building Design

Building Science Insight 2007

Every year, NRC-IRC presents a national seminar to provide construction professionals with practical information. Each seminar focuses on a single topic and reports the results of recent NRC-IRC research. In 2007 the seminar will focus on fire safety in buildings.

Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in fire engineering and the understanding of human behaviour, which can contribute to better and safer buildings. Building Science Insight 2007 will summarize some of these advances for the benefit of those engaged in the design and construction of new and existing buildings, the management and operation of facilities, and the application of building and fire codes.

Please note that this seminar will not deal with code compliance issues.
