A small-sized experimental device of thermal insulation system in Chinese traditional residential roof was established to experiment on the combustion characteristics of thermal insulation material called expandable polystyrene (EPS) in various widths. The time when EPS material began melting (shorted as the melting time) and the total ignition time over EPS surface were analyzed to explore the characteristics of flame spread over EPS surface through monitoring the dynamic combustion process by camera. The experimental results show that the melting time doesn't delay with the increasing of specimen width, but the total ignition time increases non-linearly. And the total ignition time over EPS surface can be forecast when EPS material width range is from 10-30 cm in this study.

The influence of exit's position changes on evacuation was studied in unit rooms by Pathfinder Software simulation. Using three different structural forms of unit rooms as the research objects, the effect of two exits' position changes on the total evacuation time and the evacuation efficiency was researched. The results show that when the two exits are arranged in the homonymy and the distance between them is the minimum value 0, the evacuation efficiency can achieve the greatest value, which facilitates evacuation. When the distance between the two exits cannot take the minimum value 0, the two exits should be arranged in the homonymy symmetrically or in the offside just as in case 3, the distance between the two exits has little effect on evacuation efficiency at this time. The study results have guidance for the design of exits' position and occupants' safe evacuation in buildings.
