Webinar | Smoke Control Design & Principles: Two-day session
Important: This webinar will be delivered in two parts.
- September 16—11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. MDT
- September 17—11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. MDT
Registrants are expected to attend both sessions.
The purpose and intent of the presentation is to outline the fundamental principles of smoke control design and subsequent integration of systems within the built environment. The context relates to expectations and design considerations of smoke control systems within prescriptive Building Code applications and when adopted to meet performance-based design (alternative solution).
Learning objectives:
- Understand the principles that govern smoke movement
- Identify the components of a smoke control system
- List the various types of smoke control systems, including their limitations and applicability
- Understand the objectives of smoke control within prescriptive and performance-based applications
This session will be held through ON24.
