Perimeter Fire Containment Solutions  

This course is designed to eliminate confusion associated with perimeter fire containment systems in modern building design. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the role and value of tested perimeter fire containment systems, and how they perform as part of the building enclosure. The program explores key challenges encountered during the design phase, including coordination between curtain wall systems and floor assemblies, evolving code requirements, and the impact of tested systems, such as those evaluated under ASTM E2307.

By identifying these challenges early, design professionals can reduce costly changes, avoid construction delays, and support life safety objectives. Attendees will leave with a foundational understanding of curtain wall fire performance, applicable code requirements, and practical strategies for incorporating tested perimeter fire containment systems into successful building designs.
