About this module

This course introduces forensic fire safety and the lessons architects can learn from real fire investigations. Through a series of case studies, it demonstrates how design decisions, construction quality and regulatory compliance can influence building performance in a fire.

Those enrolled will gain an understanding of the forensic investigation process and learn how evidence from real-world incidents can help inform safer building design.
