There are many new challenges associated with the quest to achieve a sustainable built environment, where many new construction materials, systems and technologies are being incorporated to reach the sustainability goals set out at various socio-political levels. These ambitious goals bring new fire hazards and risks that are essential to address for sustainability to be truly accomplished. Thus, the workshop aims at discussing and tackling the emerging challenges to ensure future sustainable and fire-safe built environments that contribute to local, regional, and global sustainability goals.
