Abstract: The radiation is a secondary product of fire and radiation could burn other combustible materials. This new describe radiation and course of fire. In the new is describe a room in the night club with different fire protection. This room is simulated in the fire dynamic simulation program and the results are compare with really fire test. The results from this experiment and simulation can be used for practice.

Abstract: Because of the continual tightening of fire safety criteria for apartment buildings is necessary to pay more attention not only to new buildings but to existing buildings as well. The main aim of the article is to analyze a real fire in apartment building, find out the principle of combustion gasses flow in the staircase with elevator situated in the middle and propose a preliminary solution where the staircase will provide the required level of protection for evacuees. This real fire analysis will create the basis for future simulation.

Abstract: External thermal insulation composite systems (further only “ETICS”) was discovered in Slovak republic about eighteen years of foreign century. The first regulation that adjusted fire proposition was Change No 6 of STN 73 0802 from 1.7.1992, according to national requirement. The first ETAG 004 was valid in Slovak republic since 1.5.2004. This article analyzes fires in period from the years of 01/2010 to 06/2014, as they are written in fire statistics of Firemen Bratislava.

Abstract: When defining the number of firefighters and the optimal deployment of fire stations, various factors influencing the development of damage, the consequences of emergencies, but also operational and tactical options firefighting units need to be considered.There are certain obligations in relation to the protection of citizens during fires and incidents delegated to community in Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Appropriate distribution of fire units is realized with respect to the degree of organization of fire protection and its effectiveness can be evaluated for example using the criteria of accessibility of the fire unit.

Abstract: Full functionally fire safety in the building is very important and significant factor of well designed, built and used building. The safety of persons in the building increases except passive fire protection (fire splitting building by fire protection structure) also by proposition and realization of active firefighting equipment; which are not designed only for detection of fire, but also for fire localization and people security against hot of fire and against combustion products and smoke. Lately, the phenomenon of human life protection begins consistently monitored in the building. Major factor in the monitoring of fire and smoke is video smoke detection.

Abstract: Fire safety, as one of six basic requirements for structures in Slovakia, does not reflect the increase of innovative solutions during last years in the field of building industry. At the present time, energy economy of structures sets the character of structures forming the heat exchange envelope of the building. Continuous demand for the application of ecological materials increases requirements for optimizing the existing or creating new procedures in the solution of fire safety of structures. The existing classification of building structures appears, from the point of view of fire safety, as insufficient one. Comparative analysis of different structural compositions of external cladding is the method that demonstrates in this paper unsuitability of criteria set. The development of new procedures can make more effective and can optimize requirements without any negative impacts on resulting fire safety of the structure.

Abstract: The structural complexity of a door causes difficulties in the description of its behavior from an acoustical point of view. In many cases, even a small change can cause a big difference in its sound-isolating properties. To determine the acoustical quality of a door, it is important to perform laboratory measurements of the door structure and door frame, the gaps including. A mathematical analysis based on experimental measurements of the sound reduction index of several door constructions was used to determine the acoustical door categories. The equations for calculating the sound reduction index, which were introduced in this paper, should help in the design of a suitable door from an acoustical point of view.

Abstract: The paper points at complex methodical approach when assessing noise coming from exterior into residential interior with emphasis on prevention and recommendations of WHO and EC in the phase of designing of building or territory. The ventilation system of the facade of particular building and its functional properties including acoustic and infiltration capability etc. should be designed and controlled upon ensuring complex function of such system and in compliance with the health and hygiene parameters of protected room.

Abstract: Nowadays lighting criterions for internal spaces can be widened; because there is need to not only stimulate properly the human visual system but also to entrain the non-visual system of users or inhabitants. Since the medical discoveries in the field of light influence of circadian system, a system that controls our daily body rhythms, gave us basic principles how it works, we can use advanced methods how to evaluate internal light climate in the buildings. We focused on the colours of wall finishes, which influence the spectral composition of the light that enters the eye of inhabitants in specified locations. A set of specified applied colors were compared to the neutrally coloured walls. Also the effect of external shading obstruction was examined in this study. This observation, based on the spectral examination of light conditions, may provide more complex overview on selection of internal surfaces colours in long-term occupied spaces, taking health and wellbeing into consideration.
