Session 4C: Designing Fire Safety in Very Tall Buildings During this session, Morgan Hurley will discuss the new SFPE Engineering Guide Fire Safety for Very Tall
Buildings. Mr. Hurley served on the SFPE Task Group that developed this manual. This is essential guidance
for anyone involved in tall buildings, that is, those well beyond the code based definition of a high rise
building. Representative topics are unique features of tall buildings, systems reliability, special egress
considerations, and special system design considerations.
