Fire protection planning meets engineering: Conference on March 10, 2026
The upcoming fire safety regulations (BSV 2026) will bring important changes. New legal principles, technical developments and increasing cost pressure call for smart solutions in the area of conflict between safety, use and innovation. The «Fire protection planning meets engineering» conference on March 10, 2026 will provide a compact overview and show in a practical way where fire protection is heading.

The focus is on current questions such as: How do risk-based profitability assessments help to avoid overfitting in fire protection? What expectations does the intervention have of planning and engineering for more effective use? How does the fire protection authority use the performance-based approach, for example in smoke and heat management?
Another focus is on natural fire simulations, which show new possibilities in the design of load-bearing structures - for example for high-rise buildings with unprotected steel or composite structures. The most important new features of the BSV 2026 will also be presented: Feedback from the consultation process, contents of the new Model Code as well as organizational approaches of the authorities for demanding verifications. Specific examples will be used to show how the Model Code is applied in practice.
The distinction between evacuation and evacuation and the use of artificial intelligence in dealing with regulations and certificates are also key topics. AI makes complex regulations easier to understand and opens up new opportunities for experts.
The conference provides compact impulses, well-founded insights and clear perspectives for the future of fire protection.
