Fire protection in listed buildings — special structures

(Please note: This product is only available in German.)

A large number of special structures in Germany have listed status: Asylums and hospitals, museums and places of assembly are subject to strict requirements designed to contribute to their preservation. But even these are not exempt from fire protection rules. In this book, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Geburtig, expert in fire protection in listed buildings, describes the peculiarities and specifications for fire protection in special structures and which measures and solutions are sensible.

In a clear and practical way, it guides you through the legal building regulations. It also outlines the procedure for analysing fire safety hazards and identifies suitable steps and techniques. General compensation options for the protection of listed buildings and the preservation of cultural assets are also discussed. You can expect the following from “Fire protection in listed buildings — special structures”:

• Historical and current special building regulations
• Conversion of historic buildings
• Descriptions of meaningful protection of cultural assets
• Assistance with the planning and creation of fire protection concepts

The book also contains a checklist for fire safety hazard analyses and presents practical examples of successful and also excessive fire protection in special listed structures.
