Abstract:

In green buildings with sustainable goals such as energy and resource conservation, user comfort, and minimal environmental impact, in the event of a possible fire, all functional components are destroyed, the building is disposed of, and economic, ecological, and social problems arise. Green buildings have design features that utilize climatic data at the highest level, use materials with low thermal conductivity and high resistance to heat transfer, and have systems that generate energy and provide energy efficiency. Problems such as combustible materials arising from these features of green designs, vertical and horizontal gaps that cause the spread of toxic gases, and malfunctions caused by electrical systems may pose a risk in the context of fire safety. In this direction, within the scope of this study, green architectural design features are analysed under 5 main headings: land, shell, material, vertical internal gaps and building systems, and energy generating systems by using the literature. 5 main headings and fire safety problems arising from subheadings are explained, and risk levels are determined. A guide for the building sector and academic studies is presented due to the risk levels and solution strategies determined as high, medium, and low and differentiated for each green design feature.
