Event Summary: The NBC prescribes requirements for spatial separation and exposure protection to limit the spread of fire from one building to another. These requirements can affect the overall site layout and the exterior wall construction of a building. As such, determining the spatial separation and exposure protection requirements for a building is a critical step in the design process. This presentation will focus on the fundamentals of spatial separation and exposure protection for buildings. It will include a discussion on some of the Part 3 code provisions and will include an example demonstrating a basic spatial separation analysis on a wall. It is intended to provide an awareness level understanding of the topic.
Presenter: Felicia Campbell, P.Eng., is the Director of Construction Codes and Standards with the Building and Technical Standards (BTS) Branch of the Ministry of Government Relations. She has 15 years of experience in the building industry, and she holds both a Professional Engineer designation and a Class 3 Building Official Licence. Felicia has spent most of her career as a structural engineer and code consultant, working on a variety of projects and guiding clients through complex technical requirements. She is excited to be with BTS in this new role, where she looks forward to advancing code knowledge and fostering collaboration between industry, municipalities, and government.
