Course Aims

This course introduces the fundamental principles of fire safety and provides practical insights into fire safety systems and sustainable green flame retardant materials for building and construction. The course explores the environmental challenges posed by traditional flame-retardant materials and focuses on innovative, eco-friendly alternatives. Through interactive lectures, assignments, and assessments, students will gain knowledge of sustainable fire safety systems, green building certifications, and the integration of fire-resistant materials into modern construction practices. The course covers key topics such as fire dynamics, green flame retardants, fire performance testing and standards and building codes. By integrating fire safety with environmental responsibility, the course prepares students to address modern challenges in creating buildings that are safe, sustainable, and compliant with environmental standards.
