2nd International Conference on Fire Safety of Facades

Innovative construction systems, increasing use of combustible material in facades, less and less space between buildings, increased energy requirements… the transformation of facades in response to these changes requires the involvement of fire safety experts. To advance knowledge and promote innovation, the CSTB and its counterpart the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden is organizing the 2nd edition of the International Conference on Fire Safety of Facades scheduled for 2016. Papers can be submitted until July 13, 2015.

The 2nd edition of the International Conference on Fire Safety of Facades is bringing together experts from around the world from May 11 to 13, 2016, in Lund, Sweden. It will focus on the following themes: fire safety engineering; regulation; testing methods; facade systems and products and materials.

The conference on May 11 to 13, 2016, in Sweden picks up where the first edition, held in November 2013 in Paris at the initiative of the CSTB, left off. The first edition brought together 200 engineers, researchers, industrial companies and regulators from 32 countries to share their knowledge and ongoing research.
