2 Presentation structure Types of façade systems Examples of fires involving combustible insulation materials Design recommendations Experimental research medium scale, large scale and modelling Conclusions
3 Types of façade systems Ventilated façade composite systems Execution detail Reduced time of execution Aesthetic system, which does not bring considerable load to on the structure
4 Types of façade systems External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) Execution detail Over 5000 building rehabilitated in Bucharest No studies on fire behaviour

36 Conclusions
37 Conclusions The use of combustible materials in the façades systems of tall building represents an increase risk of fire spread Real behaviour of façades can be determined only through large-scale testing There is a need of harmonised European large-scale testing method for façade systems The risk of vertical fire spread on façades can be reduced by appropriate design solutions fire barriers A new design composite fire barrier has been tested and the results shown that it has the potential to reduce vertical fire spread
