Povzetek: The construction sector is recognised as having a key impact on the life on Earth. Consequently, the EU has set clear environmental goals for 2030 and 2050, and is developing policies and tools to achieve them. One of the tools for achieving these goals is to establish a system for the evaluation of the environmental performance of buildings, with the priorities of reducing GHG emissions, saving with natural resources and preserving the environment, while maintaining sustainable development and ensuring a healthy living environment. Slovenia has joined in achieving this goal with a study on the state-of-play, commissioned a few years ago by the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning, as the starting point for the development of sustainable building indicators (SBIs). The research, which included an analysis of the Slovenian legislation, commercial certification systems for sustainable buildings and development in the field of green public procurement, exposed complementary but rather different goals and views. It further showed that the Level(s), which provides a common EU approach in assessing the environmental performance of buildings, seems to be the most appropriate framework and the basis for the development of the Slovenian system of SBIs. The development of the Slovenian SBIs is currently underway within the project LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE with the preparation of guidelines, data sources and procedures for determining the value of individual indicators for the assessment of buildings. Initial research with key construction stakeholders has shown that the solution must be linked to the national building legislation, computational methods and software tools, and also to the established planning procedures. The analyses have also shown that, parallel to developing such a system, it is essential to provide a functional supporting environment and a specific, purposely designed information platform to connect the stakeholders with the developers of the sustainable building indicators system.

Povzetek: As thin-layer burning of fuels on water are often followed by thin-layer boilover fires, particularly during the firefighting process, an experimental and numerical study was undertaken to address key aspects of such fires, especially in plateau areas (i.e., sub-atmospheric pressure). In the thin-layer boilover experiments at sub-atmospheric pressure (69 kPa), diesel was used as the fuel in five circular steel trays (ranging from 0.4 m to 1.2 m in diameter) and a square steel tray (side length of 2.5 m). The burning process, and especially the continuous boilover stage, was presented and the corresponding boilover intensity, time to boilover onset and boilover time interval were measured and analyzed. The results show that the flame height increased sharply at the initial boilover, while this increasing range gradually became weak for the subsequent boilovers. The initial boilover intensity showed a linear dependency on the fuel layer thickness at the time of boilover, and the slope of the boilover intensity line decreased with increasing pan area. Eventually, the effect of pan area on boilover intensity became limit. Moreover, a predictive model for the boilover intensity was established based on dimensionless analysis. The initial boilover onset time under the sub-atmospheric pressure was delayed compared with that under atmospheric pressure. The corresponding predictive correlation (for 69 kPa) with different diameter and fuel thickness was developed based on the one-dimension two-layer conduction model. In the end, the boilover time interval decreased with the boilover times, closing to uninterrupted boilover eventually. This work enriches the thin-layer boilover behavior experimental data at sub-atmospheric pressure and provides guidance for the fuel storage safety.

Povzetek: The effects of data governance (as a means to maximize big data value creation in fire risk management) performance on fire risk was analyzed based on multi-source statistical data of 105 cities in China from 2016 to 2018. Specifically, data governance was first quantified with ten detailed indicators, which were then selected for explaining urban fire risk through correlation analysis. Next, the sample cities were clustered in terms of major socio-economic characteristics, and then the effects of data governance were examined by constructing multivariate regression models for each city cluster with ordinary least squares (OLS). The results showed that the constructed regression models produced good interpretation of fire risk in different types of cities, with coefficient of determination (R2) in each model exceeding 0.65. Among the indicators, the development of infrastructures (e.g. data collection devices and data analysis platforms), the level of data use, and the updating of fire risk related data were proved to produce significant effects on the reduction of fire frequency and fire consequence. Moreover, the organizational maturity of data governance was proved to be helpful in reducing fire frequency. For the cities with large population, the cross-department sharing of high-value data was found to be another important determinant of urban fire frequency. In comparison with existing statistical models which interpreted fire risk with general social factors (with the highest R2 = 0.60), these new regression models presented a better statistical performance (with the average R2 = 0.72). These findings are expected to provide decision support for the local governments of China and other jurisdictions to facilitate big data projects in improving fire risk management.

Povzetek: Pool fires with different ullage heights are a common type of fire accident. A series of gasoline pool fire ex- periments with two sizes (D = 40 cm, 60 cm) and six ullage heights (h = 0, 0.2D, 0.4D, 0.6D, 0.8D, 1.0D) are conducted. The burning process, axial temperature profile, radiative heat feedback, and burning rate are measured and analyzed. The result shows that the fuel vapor layer and the down-reaching flame layer are distinguished based on the axial temperature profile for the steady burning stage. Meanwhile, the down-reaching flame length (Ldown) increases more profoundly for large tank diameters under the same ullage height. Subse- quently, the dimensionless down-reaching flame length (Ldown* = Ldown/D) increases exponentially with the dimensionless ullage heights (h* = h/D). Finally, based on the classical burning rate model for the low ullage height and the heat transfer process from the flame to the fuel surface, a correlation with different ullage heights is established to calculate the burning rate, which is then validated against the experimental data in the paper and literature values. The results are of importance to understand the burning rate and the radiative heat feedback to the fuel surface for pool fires with different ullage heights.
