Building Design and Construction Features for Fire Protection
Hostile fires are responsible for 3,000 deaths and 16,000 injuries each year. Approximately 100 firefighters die in the line of duty during that same period. In addition to human injury and death, is the property loss which is estimated to be almost $12 billion a year. This interactive online course will teach you the basic, but critical, aspects of how a building design influences the likelihood of a hostile fire and how that same design can mitigate the effects of an emergency fire incident. You will learn about basic building layout, construction components, building materials, fire ratings, occupancy considerations, emergency population management, and passive and active mitigating systems.
