UPCOMING WEBINARS
NFPA PPE Project Meeting
Wednesday, March 3, 11:00 a.m. ET
This webinar will take all of the TC members from the entire PPE project (almost 30 standards) and allow them to share ideas and work ahead of the next round of meetings, scheduled in early 2022.
Topic areas: Emergency Response
FPRF Webinar: Combustible Gas Dispersion and Detector location Analysis in Residential Occupancies
Wednesday, March 10, 12:30 p.m. ET
Scott G. Davis, Ph.D., P.E., GexCon US, Stephen Olenick, P.E. Combustion Science & Engineering, Inc.
This webinar will present the research on combustible gas dispersion and detector location analysis in residential occupancies by GexCon US for the Fire Protection Research Foundation. The research included a literature review of the existing guidance for combustible gas detector location and installation in residential occupancies, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to clarify and strengthen the technical basis for combustible gas detector installation criteria in residential occupancies. CFD simulations were conducted to quantitatively evaluate gas detector performance as a function of placement in residential occupancies.
Topic areas: Building & Life Safety, Research

FPRF Webinar: Fire Safety Challenges of ‘Green’ Buildings and Attributes
Wednesday, April 14, 12:30 p.m. ET
Brian Meacham, PhD, PE, Meacham Associates, Margaret McNamee, PhD, Lund University
This webinar will present highlights from a comprehensive information review of how the landscape of fire safety challenges of ‘green’ attributes of buildings has developed since 2012. It is based on a global information search into: fire events involving ‘green’ and/or sustainable building materials, systems and features; emerging ‘green’ building materials, systems and features; and research, regulatory changes, engineering approaches, risk mitigation strategies, and firefighting tactics associated with fire challenges with ‘green’ and/or sustainable building materials, systems and features.
