Fire risk of green building technical components

The concept of the green building as sustainable construction has continuously been studied, developed and distributed. Technologies to realize the green building to use less energy, while protecting the environment and improving the quality of residences have increasingly been used in not only new buildings in the design phase, but also in existing ones to reduce the energy and environment loads. Therefore, the number of green buildings is increasing. However, there are some cases that green building technologies for low energy use, low carbon emissions and pleasant indoor environment violate fire safety standards; so it is imminent to address the issue. Furthermore, unlike continuous studies on development and distribution of green buildings, there are few studies on the issue because of the lack of fire safety awareness of green buildings. Therefore, this study intends to raise the awareness of fire safety awareness of green buildings through theoretical consideration and analysis of cases about green building technologies.
