This educational webinar will focus on construction-based solutions for building fire-resilient homes in B.C. Experts from RDH Building Sciences and FireSmartBC will discuss how to incorporate non-combustible building materials, envelope details, fire-rated wall assemblies, and exterior fire prevention measures into Part 9 housing construction.

There will be 3 technical based presentation:

1) Envelope details and materials. Namely, points of entry in the home where embers can penetrate the structure, and the substitution of combustible building materials for non-combustible ones.

2) Constructing a 1hr fire-rated wall assembly. Looking at the different solutions and materials that can be incorporated into a wall assembly to achieve a 1-hr fire-rating.

3) Measures that can be taken outside of the house to improve fire-resiliency. A series of infographics and guides, created by NRCan, will be leveraged throughout the event. Participants will receive access to these resources to support the implementation of fire-resiliency measures.
