Evening Lecture: Sustainable Fire Engineering is the Future
The IABSE Irish National Group will host an evening lecture on Thursday 1st December 2011, in Room 259, DIT, Bolton Street (at 7:00 pm). This lecture will focus Sustainable Fire Engineering. Specifically, the speaker will discuss the application of a ‘reliability-based’ & ‘person-centred’ approach in order to achieve a safe and sustainable built environment. This presentation will examine the authentic language and meaning of sustainability and will then track how this impacts on the professional practice of fire engineering. Finally, special mention will be made of Fire-Induced Progressive Collapse.
