- Synopsis:
-
The subject is focused on key principles in the design and assessment of fire safety of buildings, especially from the point of view of national requirements in the Czech Republic, and on familiarizing students with the following key topics: fire terminology in the field of fire protection and safety of buildings, statistical monitoring of events, the concept of fire prevention and fire repression, the mission of the Czech Fire and Rescue Service, the burning process, the characteristic course and dynamics of fire in the interior from the point of view of the building product, structure and structural system, the fire code in the Czech Republic and related European legislation, fire safety solutions for buildings, passive and active fire protection, dedicated fire safety equipment in constructions.

- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
Exercise 1 - 2: Introduction to the exercise and basic fire technical terms
Exercise 3 - 4: Fire risk
Exercise 5 - 6: Building construction
Exercise 7 - 9: Escape routes
Exercise 10 - 11: Separation distances and fire hazard area

- Study Objective:
-
The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with the principles of designing fire safety of buildings, i.e. especially with the principles of passive and active fire protection. In the exercise, students prepare a simplified fire safety solution as part of the building's project documentation for a building permit.
