Abstract
This study examines the construction of façades with a focus on utilizing sustainable materials in the structure. The fire properties for wind barriers and the barrier panel were investigated. The study involves constructions with cementbased
materials, biobased materials, as well as membrane (Tyvek® FireCurb Soft). The scenario is fire from a window. The tests were run with and without a fire stop. It was found that the cement-based wind barrier and the biobased wind barrier performed best with respect to fire resistance. The limiting effect of the fire stop was observed. More studies are needed to verify the results of this study.
