Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to building design and construction strategies that help prevent the spread of fire, contain its effects, and ensure safe evacuation. PFP relies on the structure itself to limit fire damage. Key elements of passive fire protection include:
- Fire-resistant materials – Walls, doors, and floors made of materials that can withstand high temperatures for a certain period.
- Firestopping – Sealing gaps or penetrations in fire-resistance-rated assemblies to prevent smoke and flames from spreading.
- Compartmentalization – Dividing a building into fire-resistant sections (compartments) to slow the spread of fire.
- Structural fire protection – Using coatings, cladding, or fire-resistant materials to protect structural elements like beams and columns.
The goal of passive fire protection is to maintain the integrity of the building long enough for occupants to evacuate and for emergency services to respond.
