In our digital live event from 17 - 19 May, we will inform you about informative topics on the subject of construction: How do fire protection and accessibility go together? What new opportunities does BIM offer in terms of integrated building planning? What is special about the new Revo.PRIME revolving door, and how is it installed? What is the difference between ZiE (approval in individual cases) and vBG (project-related type approval)? Enjoy live introductions, presentations, installation demos and much more!
Date: 17.-19. may 2022
Location: digital

Martin Jedynak, Technical & commercial Sales Consultant |
| 10.00 – 10.45 | Fire protection & accessibility – how do they fit together? | Many people are convinced that fire protection and accessibility are mutually exclusive – especially when it comes to fire protection doors.

| 02.00 – 02.30 | Easy & quick installation: the Revo.PRIME revolving door | Our latest product is not just a visual highlight, it’ also easy and quick to install and set up. Don’t believe it? We’ll show you how – from the planning to ongoing operation. - Video - |
02.45 – 03.30 | Accessible self-rescue: ZiE or vBG | During our expert discussion, we highlight the area of conflict between fire protection and accessibility with the topics of consent in individual cases (ZiE) and project-related type approval (vBG). We answer questions such as: When is a vBG required? How is it applied for? What are the challenges of implementation? Oliver Roth, Specialist Planner Door & Window |
