Free Webinar: Fire Resistant Homes - Smart Building Strategies for Risk Reduction and Energy Efficiency, May 14, 12 - 2 pm PT
Event Description
Wildfires are reshaping how Californians think about housing safety and resilience. In 2025, two legal documents related to fire risk and real estate were updated, DRE’s required Transfer Disclosure Statement requirements and CA’s T24 building code. Agents and appraisers will gain comprehension about fire-resistant features and risk reduction strategies.
We’re seeing increasing evidence that features common to efficient, higher-performance homes are intrinsically fire-resistant. Air-tightness, durable, non-combustible roofs and cladding, simple architectural forms, no vents, high-performance windows… are recognized as contributing factors to homes that have survived fires as well as preventing smoke intrusion. Prevention of fires also helps prevent the air pollution and related emissions that impact human health.
We’ll explore features commonly installed to reduce the risk of ignition as well as new innovations in materials and systems. We’ll look at examples of homes that survived fires and why, plus some impressive completed rebuilds.
