PowerHour by PowerWool™
This month, we’re bringing the heat, and not just the kind you feel in July!
We’re diving into the topic of FIRE and how we can design, build, and protect modern buildings in a world where fire risks are changing.
Date: July 30th
Time: 4:00 PM EST / 1:00 PM PST
Special Guests:
- James Bourget from RDH Buikding Science
- Walt Tomala TNT General Contracting
- Chris Laumer Giddens LG Squared
We’ll talk about where buildings need better fire-hardening strategies and why this conversation goes way beyond wildfire zones. Fire resilience is becoming a bigger issue everywhere, from tighter property lines and dense developments to electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, and the evolving challenges facing today’s buildings.
Let’s start thinking differently about fire protection and where we can make smarter decisions before the flames ever show up. We’ll discuss fire mitigation strategies ranging from creating defensible space and clearing nearby brush to designing fire-resilient wall and roof assemblies, making this critical fifth control layer a standard part of new construction and remodeling projects.
We’ll also explore practical ways to retrofit existing homes to improve fire resilience because protecting what you’ve already built is just as important as designing what’s next.
Whether you’re an architect, builder, contractor, or homeowner, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.
