QUT Fire Lab

Bushfires are becoming more frequent and costly, threatening homes and communities, even for those who live far from bushland. However, engineers, builders and architects are finding it challenging to integrate complex information into easily adopted changes to already built homes. The QUT Fire Lab’s bushfire retrofitting tool empowers engineers and architects with instant, research-backed insights into unique bushfire retrofitting solutions for buildings with bushfire risk.

With a user-friendly interface, engineers and architects can make faster, informed decisions without the burden of extensive testing or time-consuming advanced modelling. It turns decades of research into practical, site-specific solutions that save lives.
