 don) buses move over to electric within 10-15 years\, the requirements for
  bus garages may change according to the perceived fire risk with the chan
 ged fleet. The adoption of Electric vehicles\, however\, introduces new ri
 sks into bus garages such as battery technology\, charging technology\, ne
 w operations\, and potential failure modes.\n\nUnfortunately\, standards a
 nd guidance\, particularly those which are safety based\, change retrospec
 tively following fire incidents and are rarely ready to embrace incoming t
 echnology. There is a need to proactively address these issues when consid
 ering future developments for an EV Bus Garage. An EV bus garage mainly ac
 commodates pure electric buses\, and also serves hybrid electric buses (HE
 V) during a transformation period.\n\nThis CPD session will brief on the c
 urrent findings\, such as provide advice and guidance on the emerging best
  practice standards\, particularly with regards to the introduction of ele
 ctric vehicles. This study focuses on life-safety\, but also gives conside
 rations on property and asset protection\, and on environmental protection
 .\nSpeaker\nTony Xie – Chartered Engineer of Fire\, Buildings and South 
 East Division\, Mott MacDonald UK\n\nTony is Chartered Engineer responsibl
 e for developing fire safety strategies using appropriate fire codes and t
 ailor-made fire engineered solutions to meet stakeholder aspirations and a
 chieve cost-effective fire safety design. Familiar with widely accepted le
 gislation and standards such as British Standards\, NFPA\, and other local
  fire codes in the UK\, Middle East and Hong Kong.\n\nExperienced in utili
 sing various fire engineering techniques\, including computational modelli
 ng to deliver innovative fire safety solutions.\nDetails\nDate : 16 Sept 2
