Electrical services in building fires
Tuesday, 02 November, 2010
With increasing attention to risk management and environmental sustainability, there has been a growing interest in the materials used in modern construction practice, and the impact of products and the built environment on the natural environment.
This paper discusses aspects of electrical services in the built environment: particularly, fire safety and environmental impact of electrical cabling and cable support systems, as well as analyses circumstances where current practices can create significant risk with unintended consequences for the health of building occupants.
