This October 2020 report was published by the Fire Protection Research Foundation. Specifically, the goal was to examine fire events involving green / sustainable building materials, features and technologies, and to assess the current state of research, regulatory changes, engineering approaches, risk mitigation strategies, and firefighting tactics associated with fire challenges with green / sustainable building materials, features and technologies, which have emerged since 2012, when the group previously examined this issue. The analysis recommends integration of sustainable buildings attributes into fire incident reporting systems.  It calls for more robust and appropriate test methods for assessment of materials, components, and systems performance. The importance of having better tools for holistic design and performance assessment, taking advantage of BIM and other technologies that are defining the future of the construction market, is also discussed.
Key words: architecture/engineering, computer/network hardware, connected home, intelligent buildings, HVAC, property management, fire/life safety, energy management
