Fire protection planning meets engineering: Conference on March 10, 2026
Important changes are on the horizon with the upcoming fire safety regulations (BSV 2026). New legal frameworks, technical developments, and increasing cost pressures call for smart solutions that balance safety, usability, and innovation. The conference «Fire Safety Planning Meets Engineering» on March 10, 2026, will provide a concise overview and demonstrate in a practical manner the direction in which fire safety is moving.
The focus is on current issues such as: How do risk-based performance assessments help to avoid overfitting in fire protection? What expectations does the intervention have of planning and engineering for more effective deployment? How does the fire protection authority use the performance-based approach, for example in smoke and heat management?
Another focus is on natural fire simulations, which reveal new possibilities in the design of structures—for example, for high-rise buildings with unprotected steel or composite construction. In addition, the most important innovations in BSV 2026 will be presented: feedback from the consultation process, contents of the new Model Code, and organizational approaches by the authorities for demanding verifications. Concrete examples will be used to illustrate how the Model Code is applied in practice.
The distinction between escape routes and evacuation, as well as the use of artificial intelligence in dealing with regulations and certifications, are also key topics. AI makes complex regulations easier to understand and opens up new opportunities for experts.
The conference provides concise inspiration, well-founded insights, and clear perspectives for the future of fire protection.
