Abstract

This report describes development of a complete set of building envelope components of Kyoto-style traditional townhouse which have been recently approved as Fire Protective Construction or higher. The developed components include facade and partition walls, eaves and timber lattices for facade windows. This development will enable new building and overall renewal/restoration of traditional style townhouses in Kyoto. Discussions are offered for the improvement of fire test protocols to assess more correctly traditional load bearing building components.
