“…Using non-combustible cavity barriers/fire stops in horizontal and vertical directions to prevent the fire/flame spread and reduce the fire input inside the cavity was identified as a fire protection strategy against cavity fire spread in rainscreen façades and wall cavities [15,44,58]. The usage of cavity barriers showed the ability to prevent rapid vertical fire spread [59].…”

“…One of the greatest problems of new housing is the performance gap, where defects in the construction process can impact upon thermal performance and operational energy use for heating once occupied; a major finding of the UK Government's Building Performance Evaluation programme in 2016 [8,9]. There is significant and compelling evidence of the existence of the Performance Gap in buildings and its impact upon the energy efficiency of dwellings and thermal comfort [10,11,12,13]. The Performance Gap can be described as the "discrepancy between the measured and the theoretical energy performance" [13], also described as "a 'Knowledge Gap' between off-site designers and on-site constructors and within both the policy makers and administrators, including local government building control officers" [5].…”

The Performance Gap can be described as the "discrepancy between the measured and the theoretical energy performance" [13], also described as "a 'Knowledge Gap' between off-site designers and on-site constructors and within both the policy makers and administrators, including local government building control officers" [5]. There are many factors inducing the presence of the Performance Gap in the building industry, some of these factors are the inconsistencies in test guidelines, financial pressures, time constrains that lead to short term fixes [5] as well as the lack of compulsory monitoring standards, particularly at the construction stage, where many issues can be concealed.…”

“…For example, smoke that emerged during the fire and contains unsafe gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon IV oxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and carbon dioxide (BSI, 2012). The emerged smoke affects both the dwellers and building structure and may cause demolition (Littlewood et al , 2017). In the United States of America, McCarthy and Gaucher (2004) attempted to provide data and information that would enhance the framework necessary to develop fire safety plans in hospital operation rooms.…”
