Navigating Wildland-Urban Interface: Solutions for Fire-Resilient Construction

February 23, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

As our communities and lifestyles continue to expand into forested regions, interface communities are emerging across North America, from remote rural areas to bustling urban centers. Living and working in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones increases our exposure to wildfire risks - however, it is entirely possible to coexist safely with this natural phenomenon. Extend your understanding of Wildland-Urban Interface areas and the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC). The IWUIC provides a set of enforceable standards that can be fully or partially adopted by states or local jurisdictions. It provides detailed regulations with clear, mandatory requirements aimed at minimizing wildfire risks in Wildland-Urban Interface areas. This adaptability allows communities to implement measures based on regional needs. However, there is a lack of clear guidance on how to construct more resilient buildings in these areas using commercially available materials. This course will present solutions and construction details that leverage stone wool and other noncombustible materials to enhance the fire resilience of buildings. Attendees will learn how to design and implement fire-resilient, high-performance assemblies that meet industry standards and client expectations.


Speaker:


Ali Al-Janabi, M.Sc., P. Eng. is the Building Science Manager at ROCKWOOL, where he leads the Building Science team and provides technical direction on the development of high-performance building solutions using mineral wool insulation. His work supports architects, engineers, and contractors in understanding and applying complex building science concepts, while advancing resilient, energy-efficient, and code-compliant design across North America. Ali's technical contributions have been honored with the Joseph S. Zajchowski, CSI, CCS Technical Excellence Award from the Northeast Region of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).
