Welcome to the Fire Engineering and Sustainability blog site

Our aims and objectives:

• to monitor sustainability driven developments in the built environment
• to encourage professional discussion and debate
• to share best practices globally
• to support and develop guides and standards
• to influence decision makers in all aspects of building (design, construction and management) about fire engineering issues

Scope:

• sustainable building construction materials, their uses and behaviour in fire
• the effects of sustainable construction techniques (including Modern Methods of Construction - MCC) on fire growth
• behaviour of sustainable buildings in fire
• the fire risks and fire performance of innovative/sustainable systems and equipment in, on and around buildings
• fire prevention and protection
• requirements for effective fire & rescue service's actions
• building management constraints to reduce risk of fire
• sustainability developments in transport and its impact in fire safety
