The aim of Fire Safe Europe is to raise the profile of fire safety in buildings, especially with policy makers and regulators, at both the European and National levels. The built environment around us is changing, with new materials and modern technologies bringing a fundamental shift in how new buildings get designed and built, while massive renovation programmes will be taking place in older buildings, as part of much needed efforts to conserve energy and lower our carbon footprint. FSEU believes that Europe should take the opportunity of these renovations to improve fire safety as well as improving the energy efficiency of Europe’s building stock. FSEU believes that a sustained effort will be needed at the political level to ensure that fire safety in buildings gets the attention it deserves.
