Registration is Now Open for the 8th International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods in Lund, Sweden


The 8th International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods will be held on 16-18 June 2010 in Lund University, Sweden.

Performance-based fire protection design continues to grow in use and acceptance. However, fire protection engineering has not reached the state of other engineering disciplines, where performance-based design is the norm. Because it is an advancing field, major new developments occur at a rapid pace.

Starting in 1996, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), along with several partner organizations, has held a biennial conference to showcase the state-of-the-art in performance-based code approaches and engineering design methods. In 2010, this conference will return to Sweden, a country that boasts more fire engineers per capita than any other nation in the world.
"This conference has earned a reputation among the fire protection engineering community as the preeminent event for information on the leading-edge technology in the areas of performance-based design methods,” said SFPE Engineering Program Manager Chris
Jelenewicz.
Papers will be presented on newly emerging technologies, as well as perspectives on approaches that have worked well, and approaches that have not worked as well as originally desired. Advance Registration is available through Friday, 30 April 2010. To register and find out more information click HERE.
