The SAFETI project was selected for funding under the ‘Support for Innovation in Construction with Geo-Based and Bio-Based Timber Materials’ France 2030 call for projects issued by France’s Environment and Energy Management Agency, ADEME. SAFETI is aimed at validating robust timber construction solutions with regard to fire risk and propose rules for taking active safety measures into account.
This project was financed by the French government as part of the France 2030 plan operated by ADEME.
Goals
- To convert the results of scientific research into resilient timber-construction solutions matching the technical-economic concepts of the market
- To unite all construction stakeholders in sharing a common outlook
- To give the entire construction sector tools capable of validating project safety (means of substantiating fire performance).
