Building Envelope/Enclosure
Fires involving combustible facade systems and combustible architectural features of the facade and roofs have become more prevalent and have demonstrated the potential for rapid fire spread over multiple stories of very tall buildings resulting in loss of life as well as significant losses to property and businesses. This chapter discussed how these fires have predominantly occurred in residential buildings, with several incidences also occurring in hotels and office buildings. It will also discuss fire test procedures related to components of the building envelop and how to properly design and install these systems.
