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.
The Building Officials’ Association of BC (BOABC) in partnership with the BC Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers will hold a panel discussion on S1001 ‘Standard for Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection & Life Safety Systems’. The panel will discuss their experience with the S1001 process and provide insights from the perspectives of the AHJs, project design team, and testing coordinators
The event will be held in-person at the River Rock Casino Resort (Thompson), 8811 River Road, Richmond, BC, and streamed on-line.
This presentation summarizes and reviews Dr Wiesner’s fire safety engineering research on mass engineered timber. Multiple large scale compartment fire tests are presented alongside laboratory scale results to highlight findings on fire dynamics in compartments with exposed timber and its structural fire performance. In addition, this talk will give some insight into the behind-the-scenes preparations, decisions and concerns that were addressed to successfully design, build and execute these experiments.
