From Code Compliance to Innovative Firestop Solutions for Safer, More Resilient Buildings
This webinar explores the essential role of passive fire protection in modern building design, with a focus on maintaining effective fire and smoke compartmentation through properly designed and specified firestop systems. Participants will examine the key codes and standards governing firestopping, the importance of tested and listed systems, different ratings (F, T, L, W Rating), and the appropriate use of engineering judgments for project-specific conditions. The session will also introduce innovative firestop materials and technologies that address the evolving demands of modern construction. Through practical discussions on common design and installation pitfalls, participants will gain insights into making informed firestop design and specification decisions that support code compliance and effective passive fire protection throughout the building.
