8th International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods

16-18 June 2010

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, 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.

The International Conference on Performance-Based Codes and Fire Safety Design Methods has established a reputation within the fire protection engineering community as the paramount event for keeping abreast of advancements in performance-based fire protection design. 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. This year's conference provides attendees a unique opportunity to learn from the world's leading experts in the area.

Co-Sponsors: Society of Fire Protection Engineers, SFPE Sweden Chapter, International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB), and Lund University.
