Hoover TecTalk: Meet Dr. Dave, Director of Fire & Life Safety Codes

Описание: 📢 Building codes exist to keep people safe—but how are they developed, and why do they matter?

Meet Dr. Dave Bueche, Hoover’s Director of Fire & Life Safety Codes, and a leading authority on fire-retardant-treated wood (FRTW). With 40 years of experience in fire safety, research, and code development, Dr. Bueche works with standards organizations, building officials, and industry leaders to ensure FRTW is properly defined and regulated in building codes. His work plays a critical role in shaping the standards that support safe, sustainable code-compliant construction.

As an active member of ASTM, ICC, NFPA, and other key industry committees, Dr. Bueche works to ensure FRTW is properly classified within U.S. building codes, providing the ability to use it in lieu of steel and concrete in non-combustible construction.

📌 In this video, Dr. Dave shares insights on:

✅ His role at Hoover and how he helps shape fire and building codes
✅ How fire safety codes and standards shape the use of FRTW
