As a result of experimenting 6 loading combustibles in domestic residential facilities by using Furniture Calorimeter, values of 2,391.26kW were appeared from sofas, 1,891.80kW from drawers, 1,778.95kW from mattress, 1,104kW from chairs, 291kW from tables, and 135.09kW from TV. Also, if applying α value of fire growing rate by classifying fire- growing speeds at NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code 2007, Annex B), mattress can be defined as Ultra-Fast, sofa and drawers Fast, TV Slow, tables Slow, and chairs Medium.

This paper evaluated the fire characteristics by using furniture calorimeter. Fire property assessment using the furniture calorimeter showed that the heat release rate is maximum 1,600 kW, maximum CO is 0.261%, maximum CO2 is 2.597%, while for the sofa for one person, the maximum heat release rate is approx. 531.5 kW, max. CO is 0.102%, and max. CO2 is 1.011%.

In the case of residential facilities, general fire scenarios cannot be applied. Becauseit is difficult to quantify due to the types of combustibles and various fire loads. Existing research conducting surveys of combustibles, but research on fire characteristics is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, an Excel macro that can be quantified by experimenting with the HRR experiments of sofa, drawer, mattress, chair, desk and TV, which are typical combustibles. As a result of experimenting 6 loading combustibles in domestic residential facilities by using a furniture calorimeter, values of 2,391.26kW appeared from the sofa, 1,891.80kW from the drawer, 1,778.95kW from the mattress, 1,104kW from the chair, 291kW from the desk, and 135.09kW from the TV. Also, by applying the α value of the fire growth rate by classifying fire-growing speeds at NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code 2007, Annex B), the mattress can be defined as Very Fast, the sofa and drawer Fast, the TV Slow, the desk Slow, and the chair Medium.
