This course will cover many areas of fire safe building design including commercial and residential sprinkler design, smoke control in atria, fire detection systems, emergency lighting systems, portal frame boundary collapse design, together with domestic and non-domestic gas installations. This course should be invaluable to both new users of the relevant fire safety codes, and those that may enjoy a refresher course. All building designers and many contractors will find this short course useful, particularly those involved in fire safety design, and certification of building projects.

 

This course analyses specific fire safety engineering elements of building design, such as steel portal frame boundary collapse, domestic/commercial sprinkler design, and smoke control in atria. Building system designs, including fire detection, emergency lighting, and gas installations are also analysed.

 

On successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:

• Understand and analyse active fire safety systems in buildings
• Understand and analyse residential and commercial sprinkler system design
• Understand and analyse the steel portal frame design under fire related boundary conditions
• Understand and analyse smoke control design in atria
