PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
Resources are always in the works around here. Here's what's currently in the works for the near future:

Floor-Mounted Obstruction Calculator
While it doesn't come up all that often, floor-mounted items can create obstructions for sprinklers just as anything hanging from a ceiling. This calculator is a quick-assessment tool similar to the popular Sprinkler Obstruction Calculator. Access: Free to Everyone / Downloadable for Toolkit Members Coming: Spring 2019 |

The MeyerFire Handbook, 2019 Edition
This book of visual references, frequently asked questions and flow charts is the fire suppression designer/engineer's go-to book of references. It's not a textbook, but rather a well-organized reference guide to support quality design, review & inspection at the pace you need to operate. If you enjoy the visual aspects of the weekly blog posts here, you'll love this highly-visual reference guide. Coming: Fall 2019 Have an idea you'd like us to make happen? Send it below - |

By SFPE | Prescriptive building code requirements represent provisions for the least safe structure that may legally be built in a jurisdiction. Over the past 20 years, the building design and construction industry has witnessed an increase in the number of trade offs of passive fire safety features for active systems. As natural disasters attributed to climate change continue to escalate, the population of neighborhoods located along the wildland urban interface increases, and fire and emergency access to buildings in densely populated areas is obstructed, multiple drivers arise to consider more robust construction for our built environment. The presentation will provide an overview of increased risks from natural and human hazards, identify approaches to mitigate their effects through voluntary and mandatory strategies, and demonstrate the importance of incorporating standards for resiliency beyond minimum code requirements. | Free for SFPE Members

By SFPE | This presentation will highlight the global context of the urban fire problem including those who are most at risk, and then turn the focus on the city of Cape Town as a case study and the research findings that the IRIS-Fire team have so far determined, focusing on survey findings, experimental results and the settlement level mapping of risks.

By AWC | Changes to the 2021 International Building Code allow for construction of mass timber buildings with larger heights and areas than is currently permitted in Types III, IV, and V construction. This presentation will provide an overview of fire design of mass timber building elements and assemblies, and protection of connections. New code provisions for special inspection of tall mass timber structures will also be discussed. | $49 for members, $59 for non-members

By AWC | Changes to the 2021 International Building Code allow for construction of mass timber buildings with larger heights and areas than is currently permitted in Types III, IV, and V construction. This presentation will provide an overview of the allowable heights and areas for the three new types of mass timber construction: Types IV-A, IV-B, and IV-C. Construction fire safety requirements and owner responsibilities related to the fire resistance elements of the building will also be discussed. | $49 for members, $59 for non-members
