Programme
Highlights
There
is an increasing trend in the use of curtain wall systems in residential
buildings, commercial buildings, and retails in Hong Kong. With reference to Clause C10.2 of CoP Fire
Safety in Buildings 2011, fire stop separation and continuous smoke seal are
required in a curtain wall system.
Fire
resistance test report or certificate of fire stop and smoke control test
report of smoke seal should be submitted for the Code compliance. However, it is important to distinguish the
difference between fire stop separation of curtain wall and fire-rated curtain
wall.
The
speaker will share the design considerations of curtain wall and façade systems
from the selection of material to the application and the practicality of
different systems. The design, application
and practice consideration for fire stop and smoke seal will be discussed in
this session. Latest development and
innovative glass technology will be also covered in the webinar.
