- Abstract
- Rate of heat release has been the subject of considerble discussion. However, it has not yet had a significant impact on fire safety regulations. My purpose this morning is to review the present status of rate of heat release measurements and to explore the potential applications of such measurements to the design of a more fire safe environment.
