Abstract

Class A burning brand (UL 790) tests are used to determine the roof covering's effectiveness against severe exposure to external fire. Unfortunately, these tests can be costly to repeatedly perform when iteratively developing new materials/designs. The NREL team will work with the R&D Lab to develop and deploy computational tools to facilitate rapid development of roofing materials for the UL 790 standard test.
