Messrs. Fukui and Sekizawa on JAFPE’s Board were selected to be nominees for the election of SFPE
-
President Fukui and Board member of JAFPE Sekizawa were selected in the election of SFPE head quarter 2020 to following positions by the Nominating Committee. Last year, Prof. Chow Wan-Ki who had been one of the Board members of SFPE head quarter was resigned and hence there is no Board member from Asian Chapters. This year, Messrs. Fukui and Sekizawa were applied for the election considering it’s necessary to be a bridge between Asian chapters and the head quarter and to enhance the activities of Asian chapters.
Voting will open in this autumn. Please be sure to vote if you are a member of SFPE head quarter.

Attended the Case study in 13th International Performance-based Codes and Fire Safety Design Method Conference
-
4 members of the WG for case study attended the 13th International Performance-based Codes and Fire Safety Design Method Conference held 11th -13th of March in Auckland New Zealand, and made a presentation of our case study.
They could narrowly attend the Conference in the situation of spreading the contagion of Coronavirus. The specified building this year is the hotel with conference and gallery in suburban area, and at the center of this building there is a void space from the ground floor to the top.
Besides japan team, Canada, Finland, Hongkong, Poland, and New Zeeland had applied the case study.
The most important point of our proposal is realizing the openness of the void space that the designer of this building intends to, with small safety margin.
The detail of this case study will be shown in the seminar after the annual meeting of next year.
