Welcome to the Web page for the British Columbia Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. This webpage is for members of the chapter and for those interested in fire protection engineering in British Columbia.
This presentation is Part 2 of a research series from the SFPE Foundation, in conjunction with the SFPE NCR Chapter.
Overview
This webinar will talk about the findings from the “Fire Protection Engineering and BIM Integration” research project. The webinar will address three concepts including: software, data, and interoperability. The webinar will go over results from 35+ stakeholder interviews, the problems these stakeholders encounter, and suggestions for improvements to the software workflows.
The refurbishment of existing buildings represents around 50% of the volume of construction activity in Canada. After a significant re-engineering of buildings codes into objectives and functional statements the NBCC has still to include a process for existing buildings.
The presentation explores fire risk analysis methods as well as economic evaluations for fire protection systems. The main purpose of the presentation is to encourage the fire protection community on the development of a common guidance document for fire risk analysis and economic evaluation for fire protection systems.
