This special issue of Fire Technology is devoted to scientific studies of facade fires, including experiments, computer models, design, technology, and regulations. The building facade is one of the most important aspects of an architectural design, taking up around 15%-25% of the total construction cost. The 4th paper, from I Southwest Jiaotong University i and I Sichuan Fire Research Institute i performed multiple full-scale facade fire tests on a 12-story building that was covered by the expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam and a plaster layer.
