These regulati<strong>on</strong>s including new tests based <strong>on</strong> themeasure and the analysis of Heat Release Rate as useful parameter to characterize the igniti<strong>on</strong>of materials.Fire Computer Mo<strong>de</strong>ls have become an interesting tool to study the fire behavior of materials.With these mo<strong>de</strong>ls, and a suitable set of parameters that <strong>de</strong>fine the features of materials,mo<strong>de</strong>ling of the fire resp<strong>on</strong>se of material with a known accuracy can be ma<strong>de</strong>. Further, thisprocedure allows establishing both the predicti<strong>on</strong> of the results in simulated scenarios as theestablishment of the technical criteria to the material properties that will be inclu<strong>de</strong> in the<strong>de</strong>sign phase of the material.This study is based <strong>on</strong> the <strong>de</strong>velopment of a methodology that has got two milest<strong>on</strong>es, thetheoretical analysis and the computati<strong>on</strong>al simulati<strong>on</strong>s. First, C<strong>on</strong>e Calorimeter [1] tests werecarried out at different irradiance levels in or<strong>de</strong>r to <strong>de</strong>termine both the thermal inertia as theigniti<strong>on</strong> temperature of material by the Janssens’ procedure [2]. Next, the computati<strong>on</strong>almo<strong>de</strong>l of the “Material System” which inclu<strong>de</strong>s both the physical-chemical properties(<strong>de</strong>nsity, c<strong>on</strong>ductivity and so <strong>on</strong>) as the fire reacti<strong>on</strong> parameters (chemical chain scheme,activati<strong>on</strong> energies and so <strong>on</strong>) was performed. There was used the mo<strong>de</strong>l ‘Fire DynamicsSimulator (FDS)’ <strong>de</strong>veloped by the Nati<strong>on</strong>al Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).The small scale test Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and computati<strong>on</strong>al parameteroptimizati<strong>on</strong> (evoluti<strong>on</strong>ary algorithms) was used to <strong>de</strong>termine the parameters of the “MaterialSystem” characterizati<strong>on</strong>.37º <str<strong>on</strong>g>IAHS</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>World</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>gress</str<strong>on</strong>g> On <strong>Housing</strong> Science 209

Other aspects of the <strong>de</strong>sign processare often un<strong>de</strong>restimated and <strong>de</strong>legated to the experience and knowledge of single <strong>de</strong>signersas, for example, the building shape (internal and external), the dimensi<strong>on</strong> and the materials ofthe building elements.In this c<strong>on</strong>text, at the Laboratory of Building Design of the University of Trento a researchhas been carried <strong>on</strong> whose object is to give useful indicati<strong>on</strong> for the <strong>de</strong>sign of energy efficientbuildings taking into account some specific parameters between which the positi<strong>on</strong> of thethermal mass of both the envelope and the inner horiz<strong>on</strong>tal partiti<strong>on</strong>s (floors), the windowspercentage <strong>on</strong> the south faça<strong>de</strong>, the influence of inner heat gain, of shutters, of night passiveventilati<strong>on</strong>.In particular, a single family house has been <strong>de</strong>signed as prototype building to be studied bymeans of parametric analysis with dynamic state mo<strong>de</strong>ling. The influence of thermal inertia(in particular the superficial thermal capacity and the periodic thermal transmittance) has beenanalyzed in different c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>si<strong>de</strong>ring the users activity in the building (withparticular reference to the use of shutters) and the thermal transmittance of the buildingenvelope as invariant.The building presents a rectangular plant given by the sum of simple squared modules, themain axis has a east-west directi<strong>on</strong> and, in the so called “base c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>”, the windowssurface of the south faça<strong>de</strong> is the 30% of the overall surface.Comparing the hourly trend of indoor air temperature in the base c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> with the <strong>on</strong>esin the others c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>s, the maximum, minimum and average <strong>de</strong>viati<strong>on</strong> in different hoursof the day have been evaluated c<strong>on</strong>si<strong>de</strong>ring the dynamicity of the envelope and the influence<strong>on</strong> inner comfort c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s using, during summer period, the adaptive comfort theory.37º <str<strong>on</strong>g>IAHS</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>World</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>gress</str<strong>on</strong>g> On <strong>Housing</strong> Science 210
