Acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge about preventive and protective construction measures and methodology, analysis and assessment of fire risks and assessment of fire risks in buildings.

Acquired theoretical and applied knowledge enables identification, characterization, classification and analysis of risk factors in buildings from the aspect of applied architectural solutions of space design, designing solutions and materialization of the building elements, realization of analysis and risk assessment of fire occurrence in building, as well as formulation and suggestion of measures for fire risk reduction. Acquired knowledge enables students to make project technical documentation necessary for building buildings, as well as for monitoring of carried out project measures during construction and exploitation of the facilities.

Classification and typology of buildings from the aspect of fire safety (residential, public, business, industrial, warehouse, garages, tall buildings, building – cultural heritage). Current legislation in the field of fire protection in buildings. Fire resistance of construction materials and constructions. Preventive civil engineering measures against fire, Fire sectors, characteristics of fire sectors. Evacuation from the fire endangered spaces. Fire stairways. Calculation of evacuation time. Evacuation labels and plan. Systems of fire protection in buildings. Smoke. Importance of regular maintenance of the building and the fire protection system. Qualitative and quantitative fire risk assessment (method of risk matrix, check lists and event trees, risk indexing). Analysis of existing and planed objects – designing documentation, analysis of the build objects and consideration of applied conceptual solutions from the aspect of fire protection.
