Beyond the Flames: Protecting Buildings & Occupants from Wildfire & WUI Risks
Tuesday, June 3, 2025 | 1:00PM ET | 10:00 AM PT | 17:00 UTC
What you can expect from this webinar:
Wildfires and wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires pose significant risks to indoor air quality, building operations and occupant health. This course equips facility managers with the critical knowledge and tools needed to mitigate these impacts. Participants will explore how wildfire smoke infiltrates buildings, affects HVAC systems and compromises indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The session will also address health risks for occupants, providing science-based strategies to minimize exposure and enhance air quality management.
Attendees will gain practical insights into improving facility preparedness, upgrading filtration and monitoring systems and maintaining healthier indoor environments during wildfire events. With a focus on proactive solutions, this course empowers facility professionals to better protect their buildings and the people inside them.
Specifically, you will takeaway:
-
Understand the Impact on Buildings & Indoor Air Quality: Learn how wildfires and wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires affect HVAC systems, filtration, and overall indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
-
Identify Health Risks for Occupants: Explore the dangers of wildfire smoke exposure for building occupants, including short- and long-term health effects, and strategies for mitigation.
