Fire-resistant by design: Mitigating wildfire risk in WUI areas
This presentation explores strategies for designing fire-resilient buildings in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas. It covers key risks associated with wildfire exposure and highlights mitigation approaches such as defensible space, fire-resistant construction materials, and code-compliant detailing. The session also outlines practical solutions using stone wool insulation that align with WUI codes and standard across North America, providing guidance for building safer, more durable structures in fire-prone regions.
Ali Al-Janabi helps guide high-performance solutions using mineral wool across North America. Known for both his technical depth and practical knowledge, he earned the Joseph S. Zajchowski Technical Excellence Award from CSI Northeast Region for his contributions to the field.
