June 19, 2024 (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM) (PDT)

Description


This educational event will focus on construction-based solutions for building wildfire resistant homes in B.C.. Experts from RDH Building Sciences, Natural Resources Canada, and others in the field 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 presentations: 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 wildfire resistance. A series of infographics and guides, created by NRCan, will be highlighted throughout the event. Participants will receive access to these resources to support the implementation of wildfire resistant construction measures.
