摘要：
Most modern buildings incorporate a facade system to conform to green building regulations. Several common facade systems utilize composite panels made of combustible materials and can significantly enhance the fire risk, as shown by many recent building fires. This study presents the development of a full-scale research facility at IIT Gandhinagar to better understand the behaviour of real fires involving facade systems. Such a facility will facilitate scientific studies pertaining to facade fires and help in improving fire safety of such buildings.
