Course Description: AEC Daily: Introduction to Architectural Fire-Rated Glazing
ONGOING - FREE - 1 HOUR
Health, safety, and welfare remain fundamental aspects of building design practices. The principles of limiting risk through openings and the creation of safe separation distances remain fundamental to fire-resistive building design practices and the basis for modern model building codes. Incorporating fire-rated glazing products provides creative design options that adhere to current code. This course establishes the differences between fire-protective and fire-resistive glazing products and their proper applications, as well as the related test standards and current building code requirements for specifying architectural fire-rated glazing.
