Organised and convened by ASBP, this session will update the audience on two recently completed research projects. The first is looking at how fixings behave under fire in mass timber buildings, with solutions presented based on a raft of testing at the FPA, funded by the Fire Services Research Training Trust, with a view to preventing possible entanglement. The second project is researching how sprinklers can enable more low carbon biogenic buildings and assist with enabling cost effective insurance. Plus a look at sprinkler systems whole life carbon impacts and how they compare to the likely M&E and whole building totals . Seb Laan Lomas will update us on the latest Eurocode 5 publication and how products can be deemed to satisfy and share his experience of designing with biogenic products. Together, the panel will address common concerns around fire safety and outline practical routes to delivering safe, insurable and regenerative construction at scale.
