Performance-Based Design (PBD) is increasingly shaping modern building design, introducing alternative approaches and systems that can significantly impact fire department operations. But as these solutions become more common, a critical question remains; how prepared is the fire service to engage with them?This webinar will explore when and why PBD is used, with a focus on specific applications, approaches, and systems implemented that directly affect emergency response. Topics will include smoke control strategies, fire protection trade-offs, and other performance-based features that influence fireground tactics and decision-making.
