In this report, fire temperature time curves in buildings most of which have since recently wide windows and great fire loads are estimated.
In the estimation are taken into consideration the opening factor and the thermal conductivity of the walls of a room.
The fire temperature time curves for various opening factors and conductivities are calculated from the equation of heat balance. Using these curves, the fire temperature rises in actual buildings are estimated.
