Summary: Reviews existing fire compartment temperature calculation methods and presents methodologies for assessing the sensitivity of the parametric approach to variations in fire load, window size and insulation of compartment boundaries. Analyses on how these changes affect the building separation distances are summarised. In addition to the current 'steady state' assumption inherent in BR 187, probabilistic and time-based approaches are also considered.
