COURSE DESCRIPTION
Fire and smoke protection has come a long way in the last decade. The evolution of high temperature materials has made it possible to provide minimal, high performance, code-compliant smoke-and fire-rated protection for openings throughout the constructed environment. This presentaiton will touch on the building code requirements for fire and smoke protection throughout the constructed environment. Our discussion will address the building code requirements for fire and smoke protection of openings and the innovative curtain solutions available for elevator openings, atrium spaces, stairs, and escalator openings.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Learning Objective 1: Examine vertical smoke movement in buildings
