- **Event Description**: Join us in person to explore active vs passive fire protection strategies in buildings with CIBSE SW YEN and SFPE UK!About this EventCIBSE SW YEN x SFPE UK: Active vs Passive Fire Protection within BSJoin us in person for an engaging session diving into the world of fire protection! We'll explore the ins and outs of active versus passive fire safety systems, sharing insights and real-world examples. Whether you're a pro or just curious, come along to network, learn, and chat about keeping buildings safe. Don’t miss out on this lively discussion hosted by CIBSE SW YEN and SFPE UK!This session will delve into the practical differences, applications and limitations of active and passive fire protection strategies within modern building services design. Using real‑world project experience—including complex refurbishments such as the listed building fit‑outs at 214 Oxford Street with its vaulted ceilings and intricate service routing—the discussion will highlight how fire protection integrates with ventilation, smoke control and broader building systems.Key themes will include the coordination challenges around smoke extraction arrangements and the use of CFD modelling to verify smoke movement and system performance. The session will also examine how incoming tenant fit‑outs can impact established smoke‑ventilation strategies, and how consistent fire‑safety principles apply across building types—from student accommodation to residential and commercial offices.Attendees will gain insight into the influence of Building Regulations Part B, particularly how compliance is increasingly shaped by procurement pathways rather than design intent, reinforcing the importance of early engagement with specialist subcontractors. The talk will also touch on Gateway 2 requirements and share practical experiences of working alongside fire engineers on a range of projects, highlighting lessons learned from reviewing design frameworks, coordinating smoke‑control strategies, and navigating multidisciplinary interfaces.Overall, the session aims to equip building services professionals with a better understanding of how active and passive fire protection solutions interact, ensuring robust fire‑safe design throughout the building lifecycle.Questions?Contact:s.mcclernon@cundall.comjames.fraser@axionconsultancy.co.ukAgenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMArrivals🕑: 06:30 PM - 06:50 PMFirst Talk🕑: 06:50 PM - 07:10 PMSecond Talk🕑: 07:10 PM - 07:30 PMQ&A🕑: 07:30 PM - 09:00 PMPost event networking nibbles & drinks
