Abstract :
As external thermal insulation system has been widely employed in energy conservation of buildings in China, fire disasters have arisen in some places due to the use of the organic materials in external thermal insulation, which caused serious consequences of injuries, mortality and economic losses. Based on several typical cases of fires caused by the construction and employment of external thermal insulation materials, this paper is intended to analyse the safety of external thermal insulation system and explore with great detail the fire prevention countermeasures of external thermal insulation.
