Energize Your Professional Edge with
SFPE Seminars This April
Revive your energy and interest in new skills after a hard winter. Renew your growing professional knowledge through the spring 2019 seminars from SFPE on a variety of practical topics, including Understanding Human Behavior in Fires and Performance-Based Design and the Codes, April 23-24 in Ottawa, Canada.
The Understanding Human Behavior in Fires seminar on April 23 provides an overview of predicting human behavior during a fire emergency. This is one of the most-challenging areas of fire protection engineering, but understanding and considering human factors is essential to designing effective evacuation systems and ensuring safety during a fire and related emergency events.
Participants will learn how to:
Participants will be assessed by taking a written exam. A passing score of 70% is required to receive a Certificate of Completion.
Each participant who completes the course qualifies for 7 PDHs or .7 CEUs and will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Learning by doing is best! Limited seats left, so please register as soon as possible.
FOR BEST PRICING, REGISTER BY: Friday, April 5, 2019.
The Performance-Based Design and the Codes seminar on April 24 provides an overview of the SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance-Based Fire Protection, which identifies methods for defining a project scope; developing goals, objectives and performance criteria; selecting design fire scenarios and design fires; developing and evaluating trial designs; and preparing design documentation. The course also covers emerging issues related to Performance-Based Design (PBD), such as incorporating Risk Informed Methods in PBD; selecting an appropriate fire model; estimating required safe egress time (RSET); using performance-based design in tall buildings, long tunnels, structural fire engineering and ITM for fire protection systems; and conducting peer review for a performance-based design.
