Paint coatings on common building substrates were considered to assess the potential for simplified reaction to fire solutions for standard paint systems. Combinations of substrate (concrete, plasterboard, plywood and medium-density...
The focus for the overall project was to investigate the possibility of providing simplified ‘deemed to comply’ solutions to demonstrate Code compliance for fire properties of surface coatings and other...
This report provides a summary of the description of a tool developed to provide an estimate of the GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions impact of house fires. The GHG emissions considered...
This project addresses three interrelated issues in the New Zealand context of accessible means of building egress:Egressibility.Demographic, technological and social trends.Lack of sufficiently nuanced building user characteristics data and other...
There is little quality data available surrounding the emergency building egress characteristics of the New Zealand population. What is available is not well defined, in terms of holistic metrics of...
This is a summary of the development and implementation of a fire research search element developed to facilitate the electronic search of international fire research literature in a single location.The...
This summary report is intended for model users who are evaluating the implementation of a particular modelling approach for a particular application.The model user is responsible for demonstrating whether the...
This report summarises a review of available literature and developments related to building sustainability in consideration of the potential unintentional consequences on the fire-safety objectives of a building if due...
This is one in a series of reports produces as part of an overarching project to consider the structural building safety aspects of fire safety.This report contains a summary of...
This report was prepared during research into fire safety design associated with residential occupancies that are predominately older adults.Metrics of use when characterising an intended building occupancy for emergency evacuation...
