SESSIONS

Secrets Behind a Successful Fire Safety Study – Insights from BESS and Data Centre Case Studies

  • Day 1: Wednesday 6 May 2026
  • 11:00 am – 11:40 am
  • Meeting Room 109

This presentation examines why many Fire Safety Studies for BESS and data centres fail to meet regulator and emergency service expectations, and identifies the key technical, procedural, and engagement factors that underpin effective, site-specific studies that support safe design, emergency response, and regulatory confidence.
