Understanding the Building Safety Act - Driving safety with a holistic technology-driven approach

Seminar explains the basis and benefits of window automation and its supporting control technology. It also covers when and where window automation should be used, design, specification and installation guidance and relevant regulations.

The application and use of façade automation for smoke ventilation purposes within residential and non-residential buildings, including conformance to the Construction Products Regulation, the use of Design Guidance Documents and Industry Guides to assist in achieving EN12101-2 Compliant Solutions.

Explaining the implications of the Golden Thread by following the journey of an AOV (automatic opening vent for smoke ventilation) through its product life cycle. Smoke ventilation products are a key part of the wider safety case for residential buildings. The principal of providing up to date, accurate digital information about these assets is central to the Building Safety Bill and the forthcoming BS 8466 – 1 Digital Management of Fire Safety Information. The presentation will explore the use of digital technology to maintain and validate these products and how this can assist responsible persons in the Golden Thread.

This presentation addresses the growing issue of overheating in common areas, the causes, the impact and potential ways to use existing equipment to alleviate the problems.

This seminar introduces and guides you through bs7346-8, code of practice for planning, design, installation, commissioning & maintenance of smoke control systems. The standard, published in December 2013, defines a clear process to be followed and includes identification of responsibility.

Seminar covers the history of natural ventilation in the built environment, explains the advantages and disadvantages of adaptive natural ventilation, the issues and concerns that need to be addressed during the design stage, the control options available and how to ensure the contracting process is as smooth as possible.

Seminar discusses the issues of smoke control systems in residential buildings, focusing on natural smoke ventilation systems. Compliance with current building regulations, design considerations and types of systems available are covered. Includes case studies.
