PODCAST: Supporting Life Safety in Low Spandrel Designs
Building Enclosure was recently joined by Angie Ogino, Senior Technical Services Leader at Owens Corning. Angie is also responsible for all Owens Corning 3rd party fire containment testing and provides engineering evaluations and technical support on firestopping for the design community.
Angie is the vice president of the International Firestop Council, and the vice president of Fire Safe North America. While institutional and commercial buildings vary widely in design details, one trend that spans building types is the increased use of vision glass. This trend has been continuing for years, but few listed assemblies are available to support it – making an engineering judgment essential.
